Description
Guest VLAN
Enabled
A Guest VLAN is a special VLAN - typically with limited network access - on which
802.1X-unaware clients are placed after a network administrator-defined timeout. The switch
follows a set of rules for entering and leaving the Guest VLAN as listed below.
The “Guest VLAN Enabled” checkbox provides a quick way to globally enable/disable Guest
VLAN functionality. When checked, the individual ports’ ditto setting determines whether the
port can be moved into Guest VLAN. When unchecked, the ability to move to the Guest VLAN is
disabled on all ports.
Guest VLAN ID
This is the value that a port’s Port VLAN ID is set to if a port is moved into the Guest VLAN. It is
only changeable if the Guest VLAN option is globallyenabled.
Valid values are in the range [1; 4095].
Max. Reauth.
Count
The number of times the switch transmits an EAPOL Request Identity frame without response
before considering entering the Guest VLAN is adjusted with this setting. The value can only be
changed if the Guest VLAN option is globally enabled.
Valid values are in the range [1; 255].
Allow Guest VLAN
if EAPOL Seen
The switch remembers if an EAPOL frame has been received on the port for the life-time of the
port. Once the switch considers whether to enter the Guest VLAN, it will first check if this option
is enabled or disabled. If disabled (unchecked; default), the switch will only enter the Guest VLAN
if an EAPOL frame has not been received on the port for the life-time of the port. If enabled
(checked), the switch will consider entering the Guest VLAN even if an EAPOL frame has been
received on the port for the life-time of the port.
The value can only be changed if the Guest VLAN option is globally enabled.
