Item Description

Enable MAC VLAN

Select the option to enable MAC-based VLAN.

NOTE:

Only hybrid ports support the feature.

Auth-Fail VLAN

Specify an existing VLAN as the Auth-Fail VLAN to accommodate users that have failed
802.1X authentication.
For more information, see "

Configuring an 802.1X guest VLAN

Configuration guidelines

You can configure only one 802.1X guest VLAN on a port. The 802.1X guest VLANs on different

ports can be different.

Assign different IDs to the default VLAN and 802.1X guest VLAN on a port, so the port can correctly
process incoming VLAN tagged traffic.

With 802.1X authentication, a hybrid port is always assigned to a VLAN as an untagged member.
After the assignment, do not re-configure the port as a tagged member in the VLAN.

Use

Table 169

when you configure multiple security features on a port.

Table 169 Relationships of the 802.1X guest VLAN and other security features

Feature Relationship description

MAC authentication guest VLAN on a port
that performs MAC-based access control

Only the 802.1X guest VLAN take effect. A user that fails
MAC authentication will not be assigned to the MAC

authentication guest VLAN.

802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN on a port that
performs MAC-based access control

The 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN has a higher priority.

Port intrusion protection on a port that
performs MAC-based access control

The 802.1X guest VLAN function has higher priority than
the block MAC action, but lower priority than the

shutdown port action of the port intrusion protection

feature.

Configuration prerequisites

Create the VLAN to be specified as the 802.1X guest VLAN.

If the 802.1X-enabled port performs port-based access control, enable 802.1X multicast trigger at
the CLI. (802.1X multicast trigger is enabled by default.)

If the 802.1X-enabled port performs MAC-based access control, configure the port as a hybrid port,
enable MAC-based VLAN on the port, and assign the port to the 802.1X guest VLAN as an

untagged member.
