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 multiauthenticated 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. 383
