O ENABLE 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 host becomes unauthorized on the port, all
attached hosts are denied access to the network.
In multiple authentication mode, all the hosts have to be authenticated for network
access. Only those hosts that are authenticated will be able to access the
network.
