packets from the client. All other ingress packets that the port might
receive from the client, including multicast and broadcast traffic, is
discarded until the supplicant has logged on.
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 in the unauthorized state discards
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 in the unauthorized state does not
forward ingress or egress broadcast and multicast packets from or
to the client until the client has logged on. This is the default.
9 - Piggyback Mode
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). If set to enabled, the port allows all clients on the port
to piggy-back onto the initial client’s authentication. It forwards all
packets after one client is authenticated. If set to Disabled, the switch
port forwards only those packets from the client who was
authenticated and discards packets from all other users.
7. Repeat this procedure starting with Step 4 to configure additional
authenticator ports on the switch.
