DescriptionConditions That Change Port Connection State to Multiple Hosts
ScopeVersions: All
SolutionVersions: All
The Connection State changes to Multiple Hosts when more than one MAC address is detected off a managed switch port. This includes IP Phones. The threshold used to define the Multiple Hosts Connection State cannot be changed.
Example: An IP Phone connects to a port. Port shows IP Phone icon in Port View until a computer connects behind the IP Phone. That which point, the icon changes to a cloud (indicating Multiple Hosts).
Once the number of MAC addresses on the port exceeds the System Defined Uplink count, the Connection State changes to Threshold Uplink.
