Compared to Authenticated VLANs
A given port cannot be both a VLAN-authenticated port and an 802.1X port. An 802.1X user, however,
may be authenticated and moved into an authenticated VLAN if the RADIUS authentication server speci-
fies a VLAN for that user and the authenticated VLAN is set up on the switch through the
vlan authentication command. For information about configuring VLANs with authentication, see
Chapter 4, “Configuring VLANs.”
Both 802.1X and authenticated VLANs may use the same RADIUS authentication server. See Chapter 19,
“Managing Authentication Servers,”for information about using a RADIUS server for authentication.
