• 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 the ingress-filter, 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 Action on Single
Host Violation field can be defined only if the Multiple Hosts field is defined as Disable . 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.
– Shutdown — Discards the packet from any unlearned source and locks the port. Ports remain locked
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) (Sec) — Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host. The
Trap Frequency (1-1000000) field can be defined only if the Multiple Hosts field is defined as Disable .
The default is 10 seconds.
