11.1.2.2 Advanced authentication
With advanced dot1x settings, you can authenticate multiple clients connected to the port. There
are two authentication options: the first option is when the port-based authentication requires that a
single client be authenticated so that all clients will have access to the system (multiple hosts mode), and
the second option is when all clients connected to the port must be authenticated (multiple sessions
mode). If the port fails authentication in the multiple hosts mode, the access to network resources will be
denied for every connected hosts. Advanced settings also include administration of guest VLANs that can
be accessed by the users that are not authenticated.
The access port cannot be a member of an unauthenticated VLAN. The native VLAN of a
trunk port cannot be unauthenticated. However, for the port in General mode, the PVID
VLAN may be not authenticated (in this case only tagged packets can be received in an
unauthorized state).
