Figure 33 Multiple Host Summary Page
The Multiple Host Summary Page contains the following fields:
■ Port — Displays the port number for which advanced port-based
authentication is enabled.
■ Multiple Hosts — Indicates whether multiple hosts are enabled.
Multiple hosts must be enabled in order to either disable the
ingress-filter, or to use port-lock security on the selected port.
■ Action on Violation — Defines the action to be applied to packets
arriving in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not
the supplicant MAC address. The possible field values are:
■ Forward — Forwards the packet.
■ Discard — Discards the packets. This is the default value.
■ Shutdown — Discards the packets and shuts down the port. The
port remains shut down until reactivated, or until the device is
reset.
