Usage Guidelines
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 Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN
(EAPOL) request/identity frame. Clients that are 802.1x-capable but fail authentication are not granted
access to the network.
Guest VLANs are supported on 802.1x ports in single-host mode and multiple-hosts mode.
The switch maintains the EAPOL packet history. If another EAPOL packet is detected on the interface
during the lifetime of the link, the guest VLAN feature is disabled. If the port is already in the guest
VLAN state, the port is returned to the unauthorized state, and authentication is restarted. The EAPOL
history is reset upon loss of link.
Entering the
dot1x guest-vlan supplicant
global configuration command disables this behavior.
Any number of non-IEEE 802.1x-capable clients are allowed access when the switch port is moved to
the guest VLAN. If an IEEE 802.1x-capable client joins the same port on which the guest VLAN is
configured, the port is put into the unauthorized state in the user-configured access VLAN, and
authentication is restarted.
Guest VLANs are supported on IEEE 802.1x ports in single-host or multiple-hosts mode.
You can configure any active VLAN except an RSPAN VLAN or a voice VLAN as an 802.1x guest
VLAN. The guest VLAN feature is not supported on internal VLANs (routed ports) or trunk ports; it is
supported only on access ports.
Examples
This example shows how to specify VLAN 5 as an 802.1x guest VLAN:
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x guest-vlan 5
vlan-id
Specify an active VLAN as an 802.1x guest VLAN. The range is 1 to 4094.
