User Guidelines
This command enables the attachment of multiple clients to a single 802.1x-enabled port. In
this mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully authorized for all hosts to be
granted network access. If the port becomes unauthorized, all attached clients are denied
access to the network.
To enable port security on a port, ensure that multiple hosts are enabled.
For unauthenticated VLANs, multiple hosts are always enabled.
Example
The following command allows multiple hosts (clients) on an 802.1x-authorized port.
