Parameter  Description 
From Port - To Port 
Select the appropriate port range used for the configuration here. 
Host Mode 
Select the host mode option that will be associated with the selected port(s) here. 
Options to choose from are Multi Host and Multi Auth. If the port is operated in 
the multi-host mode, and if one of the hosts is authenticated, then all other hosts 
are allowed to access the port. According to 802.1X authentication, if the re-
authentication fails or the authenticated user logs off, the port will be blocked for a 
quiet period. The port restores the processing of EAPOL packets after the quiet 
period. If the port is operated in the multi-authenticated mode, then each host 
needs to be authenticated individually to access the port. A host is represented by 
its MAC address. Only the authorized host is allowed to access. 
VID List Action 
Select the VID list action here. Options to choose from are None, Add, and 
Delete. 
VID List 
After selecting the Multi Auth option as the Host Mode, the following parameter 
is available. Enter the VLAN ID used here. This is useful when different VLANs on 
the Switch have different authentication requirements. After the client is 
authenticated, the client will not be re-authenticated when received from other 
VLANs. This option is useful for trunk ports to do per-VLAN authentication control. 
When a port’s authentication mode is changed to multi-host, the previous 
authentication VLAN(s) on this port will be cleared. 
CompAuth Mode 
Select the compound authentication mode option here. Options to choose from 
are Any and MAC-WAC. 
•  Selecting Any specifies that if any of the authentication method (802.1X, 
MAC-based Access Control or WAC) to passes, then pass. 
•  Selecting MAC-WAC specifies to verify MAC-based authentication first. If the 
client passes, WAC will be verified next. Both authentication methods need 
to be passed. 
Max Users 
Enter the maximum users value used here. This value must be between 1 and 
4094. 
Periodic 
Select to enable or disable periodic re-authentication for the selected port here. 
This parameter only affects the 802.1X protocol. 
ReAuth Timer 
Enter the re-authentication timer value here. This value must be between 1 and 
65535 seconds. By default, this value is 3600 seconds. 
Inactivity State 
Select to enable or disable the inactivity state here. Select the Time option to 
enable this feature.  
Inactivity Timer 
When the Inactivity State is enabled, enter the inactivity timer value here. This 
value must be between 120 and 65535 seconds. This parameter only affects the 
WAC authentication protocol. 
Restart 
Enter the restart time value used here. This value must be between 1 and 65535 
seconds.
