Access control
VLAN manipulation
IMPORTANT:
•
With 802.1X authentication, a hybrid port is always assigned to a VLAN as an untagged member. After
the assignment, do not re-configure the port as a tagged member in the VLAN.
•
On a periodic online user re-authentication enabled port, if a user has been online before you enable
the MAC-based VLAN function, the access device does not create a MAC-to-VLAN mapping for the user
unless the user passes re-authentication and the VLAN for the user has changed.
•

Guest VLAN
Configure a guest VLAN to accommodate users who have not performed 802.1X authentication on a
port so they can access a limited set of network resources, such as a software server, to download anti-
virus software and system patches. After a user in the guest VLAN passes 802.1X authentication, it is
removed from the guest VLAN and can access authorized network resources.
Guest VLAN is supported only on a port that performs port-based access control for the HP A6600
Router. The following describes the way that the network access device handles VLANs on the port that
performs port-based access control.
Authentication status
VLAN manipulation
No 802.1X user has
performed authentication or
passed authentication within
90 seconds after 802.1X is
enabled
Assigns the 802.1X guest VLAN to the port as the default VLAN. All
802.1X users on this port can access only resources in the guest VLAN.
If no 802.1X guest VLAN is configured, the access device does not perform
any VLAN operation.
A user in the 802.1X guest
VLAN fails 802.1X
authentication
If an 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN (see "
") is available, assigns
the Auth-Fail VLAN to the port as the default VLAN. All users on this port
can access only resources in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
If no Auth-Fail VLAN is configured, the default VLAN on the port is still the
802.1X guest VLAN. All users on the port are in the guest VLAN.
A user in the 802.1X guest
VLAN passes 802.1X
authentication
•
Assigns the VLAN specified for the user to the port as the default VLAN,
and removes the port from the 802.1X guest VLAN. After the user logs
off, the user-configured default VLAN is restored.
•
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, the user-configured default
VLAN applies. The user and all subsequent 802.1X users are assigned
to the user-configured default VLAN. After the user logs off, the default
VLAN remains unchanged.
NOTE:
The network device assigns a hybrid port to an 802.1X guest VLAN as an untagged member.
Auth-Fail VLAN
Configure an Auth-Fail VLAN to accommodate users who have failed 802.1X authentication because of
failure to comply with the organization security strategy, such as using a wrong password. Users in the
Auth-Fail VLAN can access a limited set of network resources, such as a software server, to download
anti-virus software and system patches.
