DESCRIPTION
If you set Host-mode to Multi-Secure, specify the maximum number of users (between
1 and 24) that the Switch will authenticate on this port.
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel
to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
