Sample 802.1X configurations

Hub configuration

Figure 159 illustrates a configuration where three 802.1X-enabled Clients are connected to a hub,
which is connected to a port on the Dell PowerConnect device. The configuration is similar to that
in Figure 158, except that 802.1X port security is enabled on only one port, and the multiple-hosts
command is used to allow multiple Clients on the port.
