Port — The port number for which Advanced Port Based Authentication is enabled.
Multiple Hosts — Enables or disables a single host to authorize multiple hosts for system access.
This setting must be enabled in order to either disable the ingress-filter, or to use port-lock security
on the selected port.
Action on Single Host Violation — Defines the action to be applied to packets arriving in single-
host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the client (supplicant) MAC address. The
possible field values are:
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.
Discard Shutdown — Discards the packet from any unlearned source and shuts down the
port. Ports remain shut down until they are activated, or the switch module is reset.
Traps — Enables or disables sending traps to the host if a violation occurs.
Trap Frequency (1-1000000) (Sec) — Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host.
The Trap Frequency (1-1000000) field can be defined only if the Multiple Hosts field is defined as
Disable. The default is 10 seconds.
Status — The host status. The possible field values are:
Unauthorized — Indicates that the port control is Force Unauthorized, the port link is down
or the port control is Auto, but a client has not been authenticated via the port.
