• Host Authentication — Defines the host authentication type. The possible fields are:
– Single — Enables a single authorized host for single-session access to the system.

This is the default value.

– Forward — Forwards the packets from an unknown source, however, the MAC address is not
learned.
– Discard — Discards the packets from any unlearned source. This is the default value.
