Clearing authorized sessions

You can clear authorized sessions associated with a specific interface or a specific MAC address. When MAB is enabled, the authorized sessions are removed immediately. For EAP authentication, FortiSwitchOS will try to re-authenticate after clearing authorized sessions.

To use the GUI to clear the authorized sessions associated with an interface:
  1. Go to Switch > Interfaces.
  2. Select one or more ports that you want to clear the authorization from.
  3. Select Clear Auth.
To use the CLI to clear the authorized sessions associated with an interface:

execute 802-1x clear interface {internal | <port_name>}

For example:

execute 802-1x clear interface port3

To use the CLI to clear the authorized session associated with a MAC address:

execute 802-1x clear mac <MAC_address>

For example:

execute 802-1x clear mac 00:21:cc:d2:76:72
