Chapter 18 Port Authentication
MGS3700-12C User’s Guide
201
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 48 Advanced Application > Port Authentication > 802.1x > Guest VLAN
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Port This field displays a port number.
* Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all
ports. Use this row first to set the common settings and then make
adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you
make them.
Active Select this checkbox to enable the guest VLAN feature on this port.
Clients that fail authentication are placed in the guest VLAN and can
receive limited services.
Guest Vlan Enter the number that identifies the Guest VLAN.
Make sure this is a VLAN recognized in your network.
Host-mode Specify how the Switch authenticates users when more than one user
connect to the port (using a hub).
Select Multi-Host to authenticate only the first user that connects to
this port. If the first user enters the correct credential, any other users
are allowed to access the port without authentication. If the first user
fails to enter the correct credential, they are all put in the guest VLAN.
Once the first user who did authentication logs out or disconnects from
the port, rest of the users are blocked until a user does the
authentication process again.
Select Multi-Secure to authenticate each user that connects to this
port.
Multi-Secure
Num
If you set Host-mode to Multi-Secure, specify the maximum number
of users (between 1 and 5) 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.
