Figure 259. Configure Authenticator Port Access Parameters Menu
6. Adjust the following parameters as necessary.
1 - Supplicant Mode
This parameter can take the following values:
ˆ Single: Configures an authenticator port to accept only one
authentication. This supplicant mode should be used together with
the piggy-back mode. When an authenticator port is set to the
Single supplicant mode and the piggy-back mode is disabled, only
the one client who is authenticated can use the port. Packets from
or to other clients on the port are discarded. If piggy-back mode is
enabled, other clients can piggy-back onto another client’s
authentication and so be able to use the port.
ˆ Multiple: Configures the port to accept up to 20 authentications.
Every client using an authenticator port in this supplicant mode
must have a username and password combination.
Note
For addition information on the authenticator modes, refer to
“Authenticator Ports with Single and Multiple Supplicants” on
page 724.
