Figure 46: Multiple Hosts Page
The Multiple Hosts Page contains the following fields:
Port — Displays the port number for which advanced

port-based authentication is enabled.
Multiple Hosts — Indicates whether multiple hosts

are enabled. Multiple hosts must be enabled in order
to either disable the ingress-filter, or to use port-lock
security on the selected port. The possible field values
are:
– Multiple — Multiple hosts are enabled.
– Disable — Multiple hosts are disabled.
Action on Violation — Defines the action to be applied to packets arriving in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC

address is not the supplicant MAC address. The possible field values are:
– Forward — Forwards the packet.
– Discard — Discards the packets. This is the default value.
– Shutdown — Discards the packets and shuts down the port. The port remains shut down until reactivated, or until the
device is reset.
Traps — Indicates if traps are enabled for Multiple Hosts. The possible field values are:

– True — Indicates that traps are enabled for Multiple hosts.
– False — Indicates that traps are disabled for Multiple hosts.
Trap Frequency — Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host. The Trap Frequency (1-1000000) field

can be defined only if multiple hosts are disabled. The default is 10 seconds.
Status — Indicates the host status. If there is an asterisk (*), the port is either not linked or is down. The possible field

values are:
– Unauthorized — Indicates that either the port control is Force Unauthorized and the port link is down, or the port
control is Auto but a client has not been authenticated via the port.
– Not in Auto Mode — Indicates that the port control is Forced Authorized, and clients have full port access.
– Single-host Lock — Indicates that the port control is Auto and a single client has been authenticated via the port.
– No Single Host — Indicates that Multiple Host is enabled.
Number of Violations — Indicates the number of packets that arrived on the interface in single-host mode, from a host
