Notes: At present, Auto VLAN can only be used in the port-based access control mode, and on

the ports whose link type is Access.

2. Guest VLAN

Guest VLAN feature is used to allow the unauthenticated user to access some specified

resources.

The user authentication port belongs to a default VLAN (Guest VLAN) before passing the

802.1x authentication, with the right to access the resources within this VLAN without

authentication. But the resources in other networks are beyond reach. Once authenticated, the

port will leave Guest VLAN, and the user can access the resources of other networks.

In Guest VLAN, users can get 802.1x supplicant system software, update supplicant system or

update some other applications (such as anti-virus software, the patches of operating system).

The access device will add the port into Guest VLAN if there is no supplicant getting

authenticated successfully in a certain stretch of time because of lacking exclusive

authentication supplicant system or the version of the supplicant system being too low.

Once the 802.1x feature is enabled and the Guest VLAN is configured properly, a port will be

added into Guest VLAN, just like Auto VLAN, if there is no response message from the

supplicant system after the device sends more authentication-triggering messages than the

upper limit (EAP-Request/Identity) from the port.

The authentication server assigns an Auto VLAN, and then the port leaves Guest

VLAN and joins the assigned Auto VLAN. When the user becomes offline, the port will

be allocated to the specified Guest VLAN again.
