Configuring the
Operating Modes
As explained in “Operating Modes for Authenticator Ports” on page 1046,
authenticator ports have three operating modes:
Single-host mode - For authenticator ports that are connected to a
single node.
Multi-host mode- For authenticator ports that are connected to
multiple nodes. The ports forward all traffic after just one supplicant
successfully logs on.
Multi-supplicant mode - For authenticator ports that are connected
to multiple nodes. The supplicants must log on individually before
the ports forward their traffic.
The command for setting the operating mode is the AUTH HOST-MODE
command in the Port Interface mode. The format of the command is
shown here:
auth host-mode single-host| multi-host| multi-supplicant
This example configures port 1.0.1 as an authenticator port that uses the
single-host mode:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1
awplus(config-if)# auth host-mode single-host
