The following table describes the fields of port-based EAPOL tab.

Variable	Value
PortProtocolVersion	Specifies the EAP Protocol version running on this port.
PortCapabilities	Specifies the PAE functionality implemented on this port. Always returns dot1xPaePortAuthCapable(0).
PortInitialize	Initializes the port EAPOL state. Important Set this attribute to True to initialize the port EAPOL state.
PortReauthenticateNow	Reauthenticates the client. Important Set this attribute to True to reauthenticate the client.
PaeState	Specifies the current authenticator PAE state machine state value.
BackendAuthState	Specifies the current state of the Backend Authentication state machine.
AdminControlledDirections	Specifies the current value of the administrative controlled directions parameter for the port. Available options are both in Default: both.
OperControlledDirections	Specifies the current value of the operational controlled directions parameter for the port.
AuthControlledPortStatus	Specifies the current value of the controlled port status parameter for the port.
AuthControlledPortControl	Specifies the current value of the controlled port control parameter for the port. Available options are: forcedUnauthorized auto forcedAuthorized Default is forcedAuthorized.
QuietPeriod	Specifies the current value of the time interval between authentication failure and new authentication start. Value ranges between 0 and 65535 seconds. Default value is 60 seconds.
TransmitPeriod	Specifies the time period to wait for a response from the supplicant for EAP requests/Identity packets. Value ranges between 0 and 65535 seconds. Default value is 30 seconds.
Supplicant Timeout	Specifies the time period to wait for a response from the supplicant for all EAP packets except EAP Request/Identity. The default is 30 seconds. The time interval can be between 1 and 65535 seconds.
ServerTimeout	Specifies the time period to wait for a response from the RADIUS server. The default is 30 seconds. The time interval can be between 1 and 65535 seconds.
MaximumRequests	Specifies the number of allowed retries while sending packets to the supplicant. The default is 2 seconds. The number of retries can be between 1 and 10.
ReAuthenticationPeriod	Specifies the time interval between successive reauthentications. The default is 3600 seconds. The time interval can be between 1 and 604800 seconds.
ReAuthenticationEnabled	Specifies if reauthentication is required. Important Set this attribute to True to reauthenticate an existing supplicant at the time interval specified in the ReauthenticationPeriod field.
KeyTxEnabled	Specifies the value of the KeyTranmissionEnabled constant currently in use by the Authenticator PAE state machine. This always returns a value of False because key transmission is irrelevant.
LastEapolFrameVersion	Specifies the protocol version number carried in the most recently received EAPOL frame.
LastEapolFrameSource	Specifies the source MAC address carried in the most recently received EAPOL frame.
