25.1 Guest VLAN Overview

When 802.1x port authentication is enabled on the Switch and its ports, clients that do not
have the correct credentials are blocked from using the port(s). You can configure your Switch
to have one VLAN that acts as a guest VLAN. If you enable the guest VLAN on a port, the
user that is not IEEE 802.1x capable or fails to enter the correct username and password can
still access the port, but traffic from the user is forwarded to the guest VLAN. That is,
unauthenticated users can have access to limited network resources in the same guest VLAN,
such as the Internet. The rights granted to the guest VLAN depends on how the network
administrator configures switches or routers with the guest network feature.
