Single Host Status — Displays the host status. The possible options
are:
•
Unauthorized — The port control is Force Unauthorized, the
port link is down or the port control is Auto, but a client has not
been authenticated via the port.
• Not in Auto Mode — The port control is
Forced Authorized, and
clients have full port access.
• Single-host Lock — The port control is
Auto and a single client
has been authenticated via the port.
•
No Single Host — Multiple Host is enabled.
–
Number of Violations — Displays the number of packets that arrive
on the interface in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address
is not the supplicant MAC address.

authentication mode.

–
Host Authentication — Define the host authentication type. The
options are:
•
Single — Only a single authorized host can access the port. (Port
Security cannot be enabled on a port in single-host mode.)
•
Multiple Host — Multiple hosts can be attached to a single
802.1x-enabled port. Only the first host must be authorized, and
then the port is wide-open for all who want to access the network.
If the host authentication fails, or an EAPOL-logoff message is
received, all attached clients are denied access to the network.
• Multiple Session — A number of specific authorized hosts may
access the port. Each host is treated as if it was the first and only
user and must be authenticated. Filtering is based on the source
MAC address.
