Configuring a Guest VLAN
When you configure a guest VLAN, clients that are not 802.1x-capable are put into the guest VLAN when
the server does not receive a response to its EAP request/identity frame. Clients that are 802.1x-capable but
that fail authentication are not granted network access. The switch supports guest VLANs in single-host or
multiple-hosts mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a guest VLAN. This procedure is optional.
