Multiple Operating Mode
The second type of operating mode for an authenticator port is the Multiple
mode. You use this mode when a port is supporting more than one client
and you want each client to log on individually before being permitted to
use the port, perhaps as a means to increasing network security. An
authenticator port in this mode can support up to a maximum of 20 clients,
with a total maximum of 480 per switch. If you are using the 802.1x
authentication method, you must provide each client with a separate
username and password combination and the clients must provide their
combinations to forward traffic through a switch port.
Selecting the Multiple mode for an authenticator port disables the piggy-
back mode, because this operating mode does not permit piggy-backing.
