Configuration guidelines
•
If the PVID of a port is a voice VLAN, the 802.1X function cannot take effect on the port. For more
information about voice VLANs, see
Layer 2
—
LAN Switching Configuration Guide
.
•
802.1X is mutually exclusive with link aggregation and service loopback group configuration on a
port.
•
Do not use the BPDU drop feature on an 802.1X-enabled port. The BPDU drop feature discards
802.1X packets arrived on the port.
