Enabling Multiple Hosts
You can attach multiple hosts 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 (reauthentication fails, and an EAPOL-logoff message is received), all attached clients are
denied access to the network.
Follow these steps below to allow multiple hosts (clients) on an 802.1x-authorized port that has the
dot1x port-control interface configuration command set to auto.
