You can use this selection to control how an
Authenticator port will handle egress broadcast and
multicast traffic when in the unauthorized state. You
can instruct the port to forward this traffic to the
client, even though the client has not logged on, or
you can have the port discard the traffic.
The two selections are:
ingress An authenticator port, when in the
unauthorized state, will discard all
ingress broadcast and multicast packets
from the client. while forwarding all
egress broadcast and multicast traffic to
the same client.
both An authenticator port, when in the
unauthorized state, will not forward
ingress or egress broadcast and multicast
packets from or to the client until the
client has logged on. This is the default.
piggyback Controls who can use the switch port in cases where
there are multiple clients using the port (e.g., the port
is connected to an Ethernet hub). Options are:
enabled Allows all clients on the port
to piggy-back onto the initial
client’s authentication,
causing the port to forward
all packets after one client is
authenticated. This is the
default setting.
disabled Specifies that the switch port
forward only those packets
from the client who is
authenticated and discard
packets from all other users.
Description
This command sets ports to the Authenticator role and configures the
Authenticator role parameters. This command also disables port-based
access control on a port.
