Action
Correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the authUtil command, and then
enable the port using the portEnable command.

port <Port Number> because switch policy is turned OFF.
Message Type
AUDIT
Class
SECURITY
Severity
INFO
Probable Cause
Indicates that the local switch has rejected the authentication request, because the switch policy is
turned off. If the neighboring switch has a strict (ON) switch policy, the port will be disabled due to
conflicting configuration settings. Otherwise, the E_Port will form without authentication.
Recommended
Action
If the specified port is disabled, correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the
authUtil command, and then enable the port on the neighboring switch using the portEnable command.
If the E_Port formed, no action is required.

authentication operation failed on the specified port due to mismatched response values between two
