Hierarchy Level

Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 9.0 for EX-series switches.

Description

For 802.1X authentication, configure the method used to authenticate supplicants.

Default

Single.

Options

single—Authenticates only the first supplicant that connects to an authenticator port. All other supplicants connecting to the authenticator port after the first supplicant, regardless if they are 802.1X-enabled or not, are permitted free access to the port without further authentication. If the first authenticated supplicant logs out, all other supplicants are locked out until a supplicant authenticates again.

single-secure—Authenticates only one supplicant to connect to an authenticator port. No other supplicants can connect to the authenticator port until the first supplicant logs out.

multiple—Authenticates multiple supplicants individually on one authenticator port. You can configure the number of supplicants per port. If you configure a maximum number of devices that can be connected to a port through port security settings, the lower of the configured values is used to determine the maximum number of supplicants allowed per port.

Required Privilege Level
