Usage Information
802.1X authentication is enabled when an interface is connected to the switch. If the
host fails to respond within a designated amount of time, the authenticator places the
port in the guest VLAN.
If a device does not respond within 30 seconds, it is assumed that the device is not
802.1X capable. Therefore, a guest VLAN is allocated to the interface and
authentication for the device occurs at the next re-authentication interval (dot1x
reauthentication
).
If the host fails authentication for the designated number of times, the authenticator
places the port in authentication failed VLAN (dot1x auth-fail-vlan).
