Dynamic VLAN Assignment — Enable/disable dynamic VLAN

assignment for this port. This feature enables you to automatically

assign users to VLANs during the RADIUS server authentication.

When a user is authenticated by the RADIUS server, the user is

automatically joined to the VLAN configured on a RADIUS server.
• Port Lock and Port Monitor should be disabled when DVA is

enabled.

• Dynamic VLAN Assignment (DVA) can occur only if a RADIUS

server is configured, and port authentication is enabled and set to

802.1x multi-session mode.

• If the RADIUS Accept Message does not contain the supplicant’s

VLAN, the supplicant is rejected.

• Authenticated ports are added to the supplicant VLAN as

untagged.

• Authenticated ports remain unauthenticated VLAN and Guest

VLAN members. Static VLAN configuration is not applied to the

port.

• The following list of VLANs cannot participate in DVA: an

Unauthenticated VLAN, a Dynamic VLAN that was created by

GVRP, a Voice VLAN, a Default VLAN and a Guest VLAN.

• Delete the supplicant VLAN while the supplicant is logged in.

The supplicant is authorized during the next re-authentication if

this supplicant VLAN is re-created, or a new VLAN is configured

on the RADIUS server.

NOTE:

DVA provides the same functionality as the MAC to VLAN Assignment

feature, but does so in a standard way. Therefore, when DVA is available,

MAC to VLAN Assignment is not available.

Guest VLAN — Enable/disable port access to the Guest VLAN. If

enabled, unauthorized users, connected to this interface, can access

the Guest VLAN.

Dynamic Policy / ACL Assignment — Enable/disable this feature.

Periodic Reauthentication — Select to enable port re-authentication

attempts after the specified Reauthentication Period.

Reauthentication Period (300-4294967295) — Enter the number of

seconds after which the selected port is reauthenticated.
