Dot1X Multicast-Trigger - HP FlexNetwork MSR Series Command Reference Manual

Predefined user roles

Parameters
max-number: Specifies the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users on a port. The value range
is 1 to 4294967295.
Usage guidelines
Set the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users on a port to prevent the system resources
from being overused. When the maximum number is reached, the port denies subsequent 802.1X
users.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users to 32 on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

Usage guidelines
The multicast trigger feature enables the device to act as the initiator. The device periodically
multicasts EAP-Request/Identity packets out of a port to detect 802.1X clients and trigger
authentication. You can use the dot1x timer tx-period command to set the interval for sending
multicast EAP-Request/Identity packets.
Disable the multicast trigger in a wireless LAN. Wireless clients and the wireless module of the
access device can both initiate 802.1X authentication.
Examples
# Enable the multicast trigger feature on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.
