Operating Notes

■ Applying Web Authentication or MAC Authentication Concur­
rently with Port-Based 802.1X Authentication: While 802.1X port-
based access control can operate concurrently with Web Authentication
or MAC Authentication, port-based access control is subordinate to Web-
Auth and MAC-Auth operation. If 802.1X operates in port-based mode and
MAC or Web authentication is enabled on the same port, any 802.1X
authentication has no effect on the ability of a client to access the
controlled port. That is, the client's access will be denied until the client
authenticates through Web-Auth or MAC-Auth on the port. Note also that
a client authenticating with port-based 802.1X does not open the port in
the same way that it would if Web-Auth or MAC-Auth were not enabled.
That is, any non-authenticating client attempting to access the port after
another client authenticates with port-based 802.1X would still have to
authenticate through Web-Auth or MAC-Auth.
