Chapter 18 Port Authentication

MES3500-24/24F User’s Guide

Use this screen to activate MAC authentication. In the Port Authentication screen click MAC 
Authentication to display the configuration screen as shown.

Advanced Application > Port Authentication > MAC Authentication 

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.
