RADIUS-Assigned VLAN Enabled
Setting
Description
Factory
Default
Check / Uncheck
When RADIUS-Assigned VLAN is both globally
enabled and enabled (checked) for a given port, the
switch reacts to VLAN ID information carried in the
RADIUS Access-Accept packet transmitted by the
RADIUS server when a supplicant is successfully
authenticated. If present and valid, the port's Port
VLAN ID will be changed to this VLAN ID, the port will
be set to be a member of that VLAN ID, and the port
will be forced into VLAN unaware mode. Once
assigned, all traffic arriving on the port will be
classified and switched on the RADIUS-assigned
VLAN ID. This option is only available for single-client
modes (Port-based 802.1X and Single 802.1X).

Guest VLAN Enabled
Setting
Description
Factory
Default
Check / Uncheck
When Guest VLAN is both globally enabled and
enabled (checked) for a given port, the switch
considers moving the port into the Guest VLAN
according to the following rules:
When a Guest VLAN enabled port's link comes up, the
switch starts transmitting EAPOL Request Identity
frames. If the number of transmissions of such frames
exceeds Max. Reauth. Count and no EAPOL frames
have been received in the meanwhile, the switch
considers entering the Guest VLAN. The interval
between transmission of EAPOL Request Identity
frames is configured with EAPOL Timeout. If Allow
Guest VLAN if EAPOL Seen is enabled, the port will
now be placed in the Guest VLAN. If disabled, the
switch will first check its history to see if an EAPOL
frame has previously been received on the port and, if
not, the port will be placed in the Guest VLAN.
Otherwise it will not move to the Guest VLAN but
continue transmitting EAPOL Request Identity frames
at the rate given by EAPOL Timeout.
Once in the Guest VLAN, the port is considered
authenticated, and all attached clients on the port are
allowed access on this VLAN.
This option is only available for EAPOL-based modes
(Port-based 802.1, Single 802.1 and Multi 802.1X).
