Defining Host and Session Authentication
The Host and Session Authentication Page enables defining the mode in which
802. 1 X operates on the port and the action to perform if a violation has been
detected.
The 802. 1 X modes are:
•
Single—Only a single authorized host can access the port. (Port Security
cannot be enabled on a port in single-host mode.)
•
Multiple Host (802. 1 X)—Multiple hosts can be attached to a single 802. 1 X-
enabled port. Only the first host must be authorized, and then the port is
wide-open for all who want to access the network. If the host authentication
fails, or an EAPOL-logoff message is received, all attached clients are
denied access to the network.
•
Multiple Sessions—Enables number of specific authorized hosts to access
the port. Each host is treated as if it were the first and only user and must be
authenticated. Filtering is based on the source MAC address.
