Scenario 4: Custom – Multi Host

Scenario 4: Custom – Multi Host

Enabling RFC5176 – Multiple Connections will force the system to use the RFC5176 Message type and Attribute Groups under RFC5176 – Multiple Connections to build up the CoA/Disconnect message if the following is true:

  • The port has multiple hosts connected to it.

  • There is no IP Phone connecting, or there is an IP phone connecting but RFC5176 – Daisy Chain is disabled.

For example, this port here has two hosts connected: a PC and an IP Phone.

  1. In Network > Model Configuration, enable RFC5176 – Multiple Connections, disable RFC5176 – Daisy Chain and set up type and attribute group under RFC5176 – Multiple Connections.

  2. When a host on a port with multiple hosts switches VLAN, FortiNAC will use the multiple connection configurations for sending DM/CoA Messages no matter what the setting in Logical network is.
