When would the authentication port-control command be used during an 802.1X implementation?

• when a client has sent an EAPOL-logoff message
• when the authentication server is located at another location and cannot be reached
• when the authentication server is located in the cloud
• when an organization needs to control the port authorization state on a switch

Explanation: The authentication port-control switch interface command is used when an organization wants to control the port authorization state, of a particular port, during the 802.1X authentication process. When the authentication port-control auto command is issued, it enables 802.1X port-based authentication and only allows EAPOL, STP, and CDP traffic to be sent until the client device has been authenticated.
