Command Usage
The "max-count" parameter specified by this command is only effective if the dot1x mode is set to "auto" by the dot1x
port-control command (page 4-120).
In "multi-host" mode, only one host connected to a port needs to pass authentication for all other hosts to be granted
network access. Similarly, a port can become unauthorized for all hosts if one attached host fails re-authentication or
sends an EAPOL logoff message.
Example
Console(config)#interface eth 1/2
Console(config-if)#dot1x operation-mode multi-host max-count 10
Console(config-if)#
