DESCRIPTION

 

Host-mode

Specify how the Switch authenticates users when more than one user connect to the port

 

 

(using a hub).

 

 

Select Multi-Hostto authenticate only the first user that connects to this port. If the first

 

 

user enters the correct credential, any other users are allowed to access the port without

 

 

authentication. If the first user fails to enter the correct credential, they are all put in the

 

 

guest VLAN. Once the first user who did authentication logs out or disconnects from the

 

 

port, rest of the users are blocked until a user does the authentication process again.

 

 

Select Multi-Secureto authenticate each user that connects to this port.

 

 

 

 

Multi-Secure

If you set Host-modeto Multi-Secure, specify the maximum number of users (between

 

Num1 and 5) that the Switch will authenticate on this port.

 

 

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these

 

 

changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel

 

 

to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
