Guest VLAN
：
Can choose a guest VLAN on the switch to provide limited services to clients,

When enabling a guest VLAN on an IEEE 802.1x port, the switch assigns the client port to a
guest VLAN in case that the switch does not receive any response to its EAP request/identity
frame, or EAPOL packets are not sent by the client. The switch allows the client that is failed
in authentication to access the guest VLAN, regardless of whether EAPOL packets have
been detected. However, access to external ports out of guest VLAN still needs to be
authorized.
