Dot1X Multiple-Hosts - Dell PowerConnect 3524 Cli Reference Manual

Default Configuration
Access is enabled.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode.
User Guidelines
• An access port cannot be a member in an unauthenticated VLAN.
• The native VLAN of a trunk port cannot be an unauthenticated VLAN.
• For a general port, the PVID can be an unauthenticated VLAN (although only tagged packets are
accepted in the unauthorized state.)
Examples
The following example enables access to the VLAN to unauthorized devices.
Console(config-if)# dot1x auth-not-req

dot1x multiple-hosts

The dot1x multiple-hosts Interface Configuration mode command enables multiple hosts (clients) on
an 802.1X-authorized port, where the authorization state of the port is set to auto. Use the no form of
this command to return to the default configuration.
Syntax
• dot1x multiple-hosts
• no dot1x multiple-hosts
Default Configuration
Multiple hosts are disabled.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode.
User Guidelines
• This command enables the attachment of multiple clients to a single 802.1X-enabled port. In this
mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully authorized for all hosts to be granted
network access. If the port becomes unauthorized, all attached clients are denied access to the
network.
• For unauthenticated VLANs, multiple hosts are always enabled.
• Multiple-hosts must be enabled to enable port security on the port.
