Section VIII: Port Security 369
none, port 6 on switch A will discard the packets because switch B would not be logged on to the port.Also notice that the ports where the clients are connected on switch B are set to the none role. This is because a client can log on only once. If, in this example, you were to make a client’s port an authenticator, the client would have to log on twice when trying to access switch A, once on its port on switch B as well as the authenticator port on switch A. This is not permitted. Consequently, in our example the clients on switch B have full access to that switch, but are denied access to switch A until they log on to port 6 on switch A.Figure 45.
