Maximum Count (1-1024)  The maximum number of hosts that can connect to a port when the Multi-Host operation mode is selected.. The default value is 5..

Mode  Sets the authentication mode to one of the following options:

•Auto  Requires a dot1x-aware client to be authorized by the authentication server.. Clients that are not dot1x- aware will be denied access..

•Force-Authorized Forces the port to grant access to all clients, either dot1x-aware or otherwise.. (This is the default setting..)

•Force-Unauthorized Forces the port to deny access to all clients, either dot1x-aware or otherwise..

•Yes  A connected client is authorized..

•No  No connected clients are authorized..

•Blank  Displays nothing when there is no connection on a port..

Security > Ports Security

Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with one or more device MAC addresses that are authorized to access the network through that port.. When port security is enabled on a port, the Switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number.. Only incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic or static address table will be accepted as authorized to access the network through that port.. If a device with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the intrusion will be detected and the Switch can automatically take action by disabling the port and sending a trap message..
