Note: The modular switch and stackable fixed switch authentication examples are presented here
as a single discussion. Any input and information that is not applicable to both platform groups is
identified. All other information is applicable to both platform groups. The stackable fixed switch
example discussion assumes a C3 device authentication functionality.
