The way that the network access device handles VLANs on an 802.1X-enabled port differs by 802.1X
access control mode.
On a port that performs port-based access control
•
Authentication status
A user that has not been assigned to any
VLAN fails 802.1X authentication because
all the RADIUS servers are unreachable.
A user in the 802.1X critical VLAN fails
authentication because all the RADIUS
servers are unreachable.
A user in the 802.1X critical VLAN fails
authentication for any other reason than
server unreachable.
A user in the critical VLAN passes 802.1X
authentication.
A user in the 802.1X guest VLAN or the
Auth-Fail VLAN fails authentication because
all the RADIUS servers is reachable.
On a port that performs MAC-based access control
•
Authentication status
A user that has not been assigned to any VLAN
fails 802.1X authentication because all the
RADIUS servers are unreachable.
A user in the 802.1X critical VLAN fails
authentication because all the RADIUS servers
are unreachable.
A user in the critical VLAN fails 802.1X
authentication for any other reason than server
unreachable.
A user in the critical VLAN passes 802.1X
authentication.
A user in the 802.1X guest VLAN or the Auth-Fail
VLAN fails authentication because all the
RADIUS server are unreachable.
VLAN manipulation
Assigns the critical VLAN to the port as the PVID. The 802.1X
user and all subsequent 802.1X users on this port can access
only resources in the critical VLAN.
The critical VLAN is still the PVID of the port, and all 802.1X
users on this port are in this VLAN.
If an Auth-Fail VLAN has been configured, the PVID of the port
changes to Auth-Fail VLAN ID, and all 802.1X users on this port
are moved to the Auth-Fail VLAN.
•
Assigns the VLAN specified for the user to the port as the
PVID, and removes the port from the critical VLAN. After the
user logs off, the default or user-configured PVID restores.
•
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, the default or
user-configured PVID applies. The user and all subsequent
802.1X users are assigned to this port VLAN. After the user
logs off, this PVID remains unchanged.
The PVID of the port remains unchanged. All 802.1X users on
this port can access only resources in the guest VLAN or the
Auth-Fail VLAN.
VLAN manipulation
Maps the MAC address of the user to the critical VLAN. The
user can access only resources in the critical VLAN.
The user is still in the critical VLAN.
If an Auth-Fail VLAN has been configured, re-maps the
MAC address of the user to the Auth-Fail VLAN ID.
Re-maps the MAC address of the user to the server-assigned
VLAN.
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, re-maps the
MAC address of the user to the default or user-configured
PVID on the port.
The user remains in the 802.1X VLAN or the Auth-Fail
VLAN.
