Configuring Multiple Hosts

The Multiple Host Page allows network managers to configure advanced port-based authentication settings for
specific ports and VLANs. For more information on advanced port-based authentication, see Advanced Port-
Based Authentication. To define the network authentication global properties:
1. Click Advanced Setup > Security Suite > Authentication > Multiple Host. The Multiple Host Page opens.
Figure 83: Multiple Host Page
The Multiple Host 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.
–
Single — Multiple hosts are disabled and single hosts are displayed.
•
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 in multiple mode but will only become operative if multiple hosts are disabled.
The default is 10 seconds.
