Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode User Guidelines This command enables the attachment of multiple clients to a single 802.1x-enabled port. In this mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully authorized for all hosts to be granted network access. If the port becomes unauthorized, all attached clients are denied access to the network. If a port joins a port-channel, its state is multiple hosts as long as the port is a member of the port-channel. For unauthenticated VLANs, multiple hosts are always enabled. Examples The following command allows multiple hosts (clients) on an 802.1x-authorized port: Console(config-if)# dot1x multiple-hosts dot1x single-host-violation The dot1x single-host-violation interface configuration command configures the action to be taken when a station whose MAC address is not the supplicant MAC address attempts to access the interface.
