Reset authenticator operation (optional)

While 802.1X authentication is operating, you can use the following aaa port-access authenticator commands to reset 802.1X authentication and statistics on specified ports.

Syntax: 

aaa port-access authenticator <port-list>
[initialize]

On the specified ports, blocks inbound and outbound traffic and restarts the 802.1X authentication process. This happens only on ports configured with control auto and actively operating as 802.1X authenticators. 


[reauthenticate]
On the specified ports, forces reauthentication (unless the authenticator is in “HELD” state). 

[clear-statistics]
On the specified ports, clears authenticator statistics counters.
