4.7.6 Multiple Hosts

The Multiple Hosts screen (see figure 4-33) allows network managers to configure advanced port-based authentication settings

for specific ports and VLANs.

Figure 4-33Multiple Hosts screen

The Page contains the following fields:

•Port

•Enable Multiple Hosts

•Action on Violation

•Enable Traps

•Trap Frequency

Displays the port number for which advanced port-based authentication is enabled.

When checked, indicates that multiple hosts are enabled. Multiple hosts must be enabled in order to either disable the ingress-filter, or to use port-lock security on the selected port.

This defines the action to be applied to packets arriving in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the supplicant MAC address. The possible field values are:

•Discard, which discards the packets. This is the default value.

•Forward, by which forwards the packet.

•Discard Disable, discards the packets and shuts down the port. The ports remains shut down until reactivated, or until the device is reset.

When checked, indicates that traps are enabled for Multiple Hosts

Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host. The Trap Frequency (1-1000000) field can be defined only if multiple hosts are disabled.

The default is 10 seconds.
