Multi-Host Authentication

By default, 802.1x assumes that a single end user is connected to a single authenticator port in a one-to-one
mode of authentication called single-host mode. If multiple end users are connected to the same port, a
many-to-one configuration, only the first end user to respond to the identity request is authenticated.
Subsequent responses are ignored, and a system log is generated to indicate reception of unexpected 802.1x
