85.5 Compound Authentication
Use this screen to allow network access for clients that:
• pass either IEEE 802.1x authentication OR MAC authentication, or
• pass both IEEE 802.1x authentication AND MAC authentication.
The authentication modes are:
• In IEEE 802.1x authentication, the Switch prompts the client for login information in the form of a user
name and password. When the client provides the login credentials, the Switch sends an
authentication request to a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server validates whether this client is allowed
access to the port. Use the
SECURITY > AAA > RADIUS Server Setup screen to configure the RADIUS
server.
• In MAC authentication, the login credentials are based on the source MAC address of the client
connecting to a port on the Switch along with a password configured specifically for MAC
authentication on the Switch.
Click SECURITY > Port Authentication > Compound Authentication Mode to display the configuration
screen as shown.

Multi-secure Num If you set Host-mode to Multi-Secure , specify the maximum number of users (between 1 and
24) that the Switch will authenticate on this port.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
