Command Usage
This command enables the attachment of multiple clients to a single 802.1x-enabled port. In this
mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully authorized for all hosts to be granted
network access. If the port becomes unauthorized, all attached clients are denied access to the
network.
For unauthenticated VLANs, multiple hosts are always enabled.
Multiple-hosts must be enabled to enable port security on the port.
