ieee8021XPaePortAuthenticatorEnable

Module: IEEE8021X-PAE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021X-PAE-MIB::ieee8021XPaePortAuthenticatorEnable

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.15.1.1.5.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-only

Description: True if the Authenticator is enabled.

This object is read only. It returns 'false' if the value of the object ieee8021XPaePortCapabilities in the same row has the bit 'authImplemented' Off, or if the local control variable 'enable' has not been set by the Logon Process.

What is ieee8021XPaePortAuthenticatorEnable?

Read-only status showing whether the 802.1X Authenticator role is actually active on this port; it reads false if the port's capabilities lack authenticator support or the Logon Process hasn't enabled it, so admins use it to confirm authenticator functionality is really running rather than just configured.
