Specifying An Access Control Method; Setting The Maximum Number Of Concurrent 802.1X Users On A Port - HP 5120 SI Series Security Configuration Manual

You can set authorization state for one port in interface view, or for multiple ports in system view. If
different authorization state is set for a port in system view and interface view, the one set later takes
effect.
Follow these steps to set the authorization state of a port:
To do...

To use both 802.1X and portal authentication on a port, you must specify MAC-based access control. For
more information about portal authentication, see the chapter "Portal configuration."
Setting the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users on a
port
You can set the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users for ports individually in interface view or in
bulk in system view. If different settings are configured for a port in both views, the setting configured later
takes effect.
Follow these steps to set the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users on a port:
To do...
Enter system view
Use the command...
system-view
dot1x port-control { authorized-force |
In system view auto | unauthorized-force } [ interface
interface-list ]
