Multiple
Operating Mode
The second type of operating mode for an authenticator port is the Multiple
mode. You use this mode when a port is supporting more than one client
and you want each client to log on individually before being permitted to
forward traffic through the port. An authenticator port in this mode can
support up to a maximum of 320 clients, with a total maximum of 480 per
switch. If you are using the 802.1x authentication method, you must
provide each client with a separate username and password combination
and the clients must provide their combinations to forward traffic through a
switch port.
Selecting the Multiple mode for an authenticator port disables the piggy-
back mode, because this operating mode does not permit piggy-backing.
