ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1065
configure netlogin ports mode
configure netlogin ports [all | <port_list>] mode [mac-based-vlans | port-
based-vlans]
Description
Configures the netlogin port’s mode of operation.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting is
port-based-vlans
.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure netlogin MAC-based VLANs on a netlogin port.
If you modify the mode of operation to
mac-based-vlans
and later disable all netlogin protocols on
that port, the mode of operation automatically returns to
port-based-vlans
.
When you change the netlogin port’s mode of operation, the switch deletes all currently known
supplicants from the port and restores all VLANs associated with that port to their original state. In
addition, by selecting
mac-based-vlans
, you are unable to manually add or delete untagged VLANs
from this port. Netlogin now controls these VLANs.
With netlogin MAC-based operation, every authenticated client has an additional FDB flag that
indicates a translation MAC address. If the supplicant’s requested VLAN does not exist on the port, the
switch adds the requested VLAN.
Important Rules and Restrictions.
This section summarizes the rules and restrictions for configuring
netlogin MAC-based VLANs:
●
If you attempt to configure the port’s mode of operation before enabling netlogin, the switch
displays an error message similar to the following:
ERROR: The following ports do not have NetLogin enabled; 1
To enable netlogin on the switch, use the following command to enable netlogin and to specify an
authentication method (for example, 802.1x—identified as dot1.x in the CLI):
enable netlogin
dot1x
To enable netlogin on the ports, use the following command to enable netlogin and to specify an
authentication method (for example, 802.1x—identified as dot1.x in the CLI):
enable netlogin ports
1:1 dot1x
all
Specifies all netlogin ports.
port_list
Specifies one or more netlogin ports.
mac-based-vlans
Allows more than one untagged VLAN.
port-based-vlans
Allows only one untagged VLAN. This is the default behavior.
