Usage Guidelines
To specify the access VLAN to which the switch assigns a critical port when the port is in the
critical-authentication state, use the vlan vlan-id keywords. The specified type of VLAN must match the
type of port, as follows:
•
•
•
If the client is running Windows XP and the critical port to which the client is connected is in the
critical-authentication state, Windows XP might report that the interface is not authenticated.
If the Windows XP client is configured for DHCP and has an IP address from the DHCP server, receiving
an EAP-Success message on a critical port might not re-initiate the DHCP configuration process.
