Authentication status
A user in the 802.1X guest
VLAN passes 802.1X
authentication
NOTE:
To use the 802.1X guest VLAN function on a port that performs MAC-based access control, make sure
•
that the port is a hybrid port, and enable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
• The network device assigns a hybrid port to an 802.1X guest VLAN as an untagged member.
For more information about VLAN configuration and MAC-based VLAN, see

Configuration Guide
Auth-Fail VLAN
You can configure an Auth-Fail VLAN to accommodate users that have failed 802.1X authentication
because of the failure to comply with the organization security strategy, such as using a wrong password.
Users in the Auth-Fail VLAN can access a limited set of network resources, such as a software server, to
download anti-virus software and system patches.
The Auth-Fail VLAN does not accommodate 802.1X users that have failed authentication for
authentication timeouts or network connection problems. The way that the network access device
handles VLANs on the port differs by 802.1X access control mode.
On a port that performs port-based access control

Authentication status
A user fails 802.1X
authentication
A user in the Auth-Fail VLAN
fails 802.1X re-authentication
A user passes 802.1X
authentication
On a port that performs MAC-based access control
2.
Authentication status
A user fails 802.1X
authentication
A user in the Auth-Fail VLAN
fails 802.1X re-authentication
VLAN manipulation
Re-maps the MAC address of the user to the VLAN specified for the user.
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, re-maps the MAC address of the
user to the initial default VLAN on the port.
.
VLAN manipulation
Assigns the Auth-Fail VLAN to the port as the default VLAN. All 802.1X users
on this port can access only resources in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
The Auth-Fail VLAN is still the default VLAN on the port, and all 802.1X users
on this port are in this VLAN.
•
Assigns the VLAN specified for the user to the port as the default VLAN,
and removes the port from the Auth-Fail VLAN. After the user logs off, the
user-configured default VLAN restores.
•
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, the initial default VLAN
applies. The user and all subsequent 802.1X users are assigned to the
user-configured default VLAN. After the user logs off, the default VLAN
remains unchanged.
VLAN manipulation
Re-maps the MAC address of the user to the Auth-Fail VLAN. The user can
access only resources in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
The user is still in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
