Enable single-host mode on the switch. Defaults The default is single-host mode. Command Modes Interface configuration Command History Release 12.1(19)EA1 Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Use this command to limit an IEEE 802.1x-enabled port to a single client or to attach multiple clients to an IEEE 802.1x-enabled port. In multiple-hosts mode, only one of the attached hosts needs to be successfully authorized for all hosts to be granted network access. If the port becomes unauthorized (re-authentication fails or an Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN [EAPOL]-logoff message is received), all attached clients are denied access to the network. Before entering this command, make sure that the dot1x port-control interface configuration command is set to auto for the specified port. Examples This example shows how to enable IEEE 802.1x globally, to enable IEEE 802.1x on a port, and to enable multiple-hosts mode: Switch(config)# dot1x system-auth-control Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1 Switch(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto Switch(config-if)# dot1x host-mode multi-host You can verify your settings by entering the show dot1x [interface interface-id] privileged EXEC command. 78-16405-05 Catalyst 3560 Switch Command Reference 2-93
