802.1X Authentication Page
The
802.1X Authentication Page contains the following fields:
• Port — Displays the port number for which the Multiple Hosts configuration is
displayed.
• Host Authentication— Defines the Host Authentication mode. The possible
field values are:
- Single — Only the authorized host can access the port.
- Multiple Host — Multiple hosts can be attached to a single 802.1x-
enabled port. Only one host must be authorized for all hosts to access
the network. If the host authentication fails, or an EAPOL-logoff message
is received, all attached clients are denied access to the network.
- Multi Session — Enables number of specific authorized hosts to get
access to the port. Filtering is based on the source MAC address.
