Port
— The port number for which Advanced Port Based Authentication is enabled.
Multiple Hosts
— Enables or disables a single host to authorize multiple hosts for system access.
This setting must be enabled in order to either disable ingress filtering, or to use port-lock security
on the selected port.
Action on Single Host Violation
— Defines the action to be applied to packets arriving in single-
host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the client (supplicant) MAC address. The
possible field values are:
Forward
— Forwards the packets from an unknown source, however, the MAC address is not
learned.
Discard
— Discards the packets from any unlearned source. This is the default value.
Discard Shutdown
— Discards the packet from any unlearned source and shuts down the
port. Ports remain shut down until they are activated, or the device is reset.
Traps
— Enables or disables sending traps to the host if a violation occurs.
Trap Frequency (1-1000000)
— Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host. The
default is 10 seconds.
