Operating Mode
The second type of operating mode for an authenticator port is the Multiple
mode. You can 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 forward traffic through the port. An authenticator port in this
mode can support up to a maximum of 320 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.
