Integer: If the RADIUS server assigns integer type of VLAN IDs, you can set the
VLAN assignment mode to integer on the switch (this is also the default mode on
the switch). Then, upon receiving an integer ID assigned by the RADIUS
authentication server, the switch adds the port to the VLAN whose VLAN ID is
equal to the assigned integer ID. If no such a VLAN exists, the switch first creates
a VLAN with the assigned ID, and then adds the port to the newly created VLAN.
String: If the RADIUS server assigns string type of VLAN IDs, you can set the
VLAN assignment mode to string on the switch. Then, upon receiving a string ID
assigned by the RADIUS authentication server, the switch compares the ID with
existing VLAN names on the switch. If it finds a match, it adds the port to the
corresponding VLAN. Otherwise, the VLAN assignment fails and the user cannot
pass the authentication.
The two dynamic VLAN assignment modes, integer and string, supported by the switch
are set according to the authentication server. Different authentication servers adopt
different dynamic VLAN assignment modes, you are recommended to configure the
device according to the dynamic VLAN assignment mode in use.
Table 1-3 lists some common dynamic VLAN assignment modes.
