A hybrid port is always assigned to a MAC authentication guest VLAN as an untagged member. After
the assignment, do not reconfigure the port as a tagged member in the VLAN.
Table 10
shows the way that the network access device handles guest VLANs for MAC
authentication users.

Critical VLAN
You can configure a MAC authentication critical VLAN on a port to accommodate users that fail MAC
authentication because no RADIUS authentication server is reachable. Users in a MAC
authentication critical VLAN can access only network resources in the critical VLAN.
The critical VLAN feature takes effect when MAC authentication is performed only through RADIUS
servers. If a MAC authentication user fails local authentication after RADIUS authentication, the user
is not assigned to the critical VLAN. For more information about the authentication methods, see
"Configuring

authentication users.

ACL assignment
You can specify an authorization ACL in the user account for a MAC authentication user to control
the user's access to network resources. After the user passes MAC authentication, the
authentication server (local or remote) assigns the authorization ACL to the access port of the user.
