Thanks in Advance

I am quoting it (see below) from the link I sent to you in the previous post. Based on that it looks like it's supported on the 2948G switch

The Cisco Catalyst® Operating System (Catalyst OS) Software Version 7.5(1) for the supervisor engine supports the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco Catalyst 4000/4500 Series multilayer switches (including the Cisco Catalyst 2948G, 4912G, and 2980G-A switches).

Matt,

AFAIK, dot1x multiple host authentication isn't supported on 2948G switch.

Thanks for the response.

Any other product other than Cat6500 that supports this?

Thanks

Matt,

3550/4500 switches support multi-host feature. There may be more products out there.

Hello Sundar,

Thanks for the response.

Multi-host does not give me what I want. I am looking for set port dot1x mod/port multiple-authentication which will force every mac on the port to undergo dot1x authentication. In the case of Multi-host only one of mac's need to authenticate - all the rest ride in for free.

I did locate a version 8.1 that supported this feature - can you please confirm if this is true.

Thanks

Matt

Matt,

Yes, the multiple-authentication feature is supported in 8.1 version. It appears it was introduced in version 7.5(1)as described in the following link.
