Hello @Jason2005 

These commands are used to configure authentication settings on a switch port. The command authentication host-mode multi-auth is used to enable multi-authentication mode on the interface, allowing multiple devices to authenticate independently through the same port. This is commonly used when multiple devices, such as a phone and a computer, share the same Ethernet port. The command authentication port-control auto configures the port control mode for authentication as "auto", meaning the switch dynamically determines whether to enforce authentication based on the attached device's capabilities. If the device supports authentication and sends a request, authentication is enabled for that device. If no authentication request is received, the port remains in an unauthenticated state, allowing non-authentication capable devices to connect without authentication. Together, these commands facilitate secure authentication on the switch port while accommodating devices with different authentication requirements.

 

Best regards
