The Multiple Hosts page contains the following fields:

Port — The port number for which Advanced Port Based Authentication is enabled.

Host Authentication — Defines the host authentication type. The possible fields are:

Single — Enables a single authorized host for single-session access to the system.

Multiple Host — Enables a single host to authorize multiple hosts for single-session access to the system. This setting must be enabled in order to either disable the ingress-filter, or to use port-lock security on the selected port.

Multiple Session — Enables a single authorzied host for multiple-session access to the system. This is the default value.

Action on Single Host Violation — Defines the action to be applied to packets arriving in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the client (supplicant) MAC address. The possible field values are:

Forward — Forwards the packets from an unknown source, however, the MAC address is not learned.

Discard — Discards the packets from any unlearned source. This is the default value.

Shutdown — Discards the packet from any unlearned source and shuts down the port. Ports remain shut down until they are activated, or the switch is reset.

Traps — Enables or disables sending traps to the host if a violation occurs.

Enable — Enables sending traps.

Disable — Disables sending traps.

Trap Frequency (1-1000000) — Defines the time period in seconds by which traps are sent to the host. The Trap Frequency (1-1000000) field can be defined only if the Multiple Hosts field is defined as Disable. The default is 10 seconds.

Status — The host status. The possible field values are:

Unauthorized — Indicates that the port control is Force Unauthorized, the port link is down or the port control is Auto, but a client has not been authenticated via the port.

Not in Auto Mode — Indicates that the port control is Forced Authorized, and clients have full port access.

Single-host Lock — Indicates that the port control is Auto and a single client has been authenticated via the port.

No Single Host — Indicates that Multiple Host is enabled.

Number of Violations — The number of packets that arrived on the interface in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the client (supplicant) MAC address.
