Usage Guidelines
Use this command to limit an 802.1x-enabled port to a single client or to attach multiple clients to an
802.1x-enabled port. In multiple-hosts mode, only one of the attached hosts must be successfully
authorized for all hosts to be granted network access. If the port becomes unauthorized
(re-authentication fails or an Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN [EAPOL]-logoff message is
received), all attached clients are denied access to the network.
Before entering this command, make sure that the
dot1x port-control
interface configuration command
is set to
auto
for the specified port.
The
dot1x host-mode multi-domain
interface configuration command is not supported on the switch.
Configuring this command on an interface causes the interface to go into the error-disabled state.
