MultiHost 802.1X is the only type of authentication supported in the switch. In this mode, once a supplicant is authorized, the devices
connected to this port can access the network resources.
The 802.1X Port-based Network Access Control function supported by the switch is somewhat complex,. It just supports basic
Multihost mode, which can distinguish between the device’s MAC address and its VID. The following table summarizes the
authentication status and the port status versus the status of port mode set in 802.1x Port mode, port control state, set in 802.1X
port setting. Entry Authorized means a MAC entry is authorized.
