Request Identity frames is configured with EAPOL Timeout. If Allow Guest VLAN if EAPOL Seen is enabled, the port

will now be placed in the Guest VLAN. If disabled, the switch will first check its history to see if an EAPOL frame has

previously been received on the port (this history is cleared if the port link goes down or the port's Admin State is

changed), and if not, the port will be placed in the Guest VLAN. Otherwise it will not move to the Guest VLAN, but

continue transmitting EAPOL Request Identity frames at the rate given by EAPOL Timeout.

Once in the Guest VLAN, the port is considered authenticated, and all attached clients on the port are allowed access

on this VLAN. The switch will not transmit an EAPOL Success frame when entering the Guest VLAN.
