Hub configuration
Figure 130 illustrates a configuration where three 802.1x-enabled Clients are connected to a hub,
which is connected to a port on the BigIron RX device. The configuration is similar to that in
Figure 129, except that 802.1x port security is enabled on only one port, and the multiple-hosts
command is used to allow multiple Clients on the port.
