Enable/Disable Default Vlan Restore; Enable/Disable Port Authentication - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6624 Network Configuration Manual

Assigning Ports to VLANs

Enable/Disable Default VLAN Restore

To enable or disable default VLAN restore, enter vlan port followed by the port's slot/port designation
then default vlan restore followed by enable or disable. For example,
-> vlan port 3/1 default vlan restore enable
-> vlan port 5/2 default vlan restore disable
To enable or disable default VLAN restore on multiple ports, specify a range of ports and/or multiple
slots.
-> vlan port 2/1-12 3/10-24 4/3-14 default vlan restore enable
Note the following when changing the restore default VLAN status for a mobile port:
If a hub is connected to a mobile port, enabling default VLAN restore on that port is recommended.
•
VLAN port rule assignments are exempt from the effects of the restore default VLAN status. See

Chapter 7, "Defining VLAN Rules,"
port traffic
When a mobile port link is disabled and then enabled, all secondary VPAs for that port are automati-
•
cally dropped regardless of the restore default VLAN status for that port. Switch ports are disabled
when a device is disconnected from the port, a configuration change is made to disable the port, or
switch power is turned off.

Enable/Disable Port Authentication

To enable or disable authentication on a mobile port, enter vlan port followed by the port's slot/port
designation then authenticate followed by enable or disable. For example,
-> vlan port 3/1 authenticate enable
-> vlan port 5/2 authenticate disable
To enable or disable authentication on multiple ports, specify a range of ports and/or multiple slots.
-> vlan port 6/1-32 8/10-24 9/3-14 authenticate enable
Only mobile ports are eligible for authentication. If enabled, the mobile port participates in the Layer 2
authentication process supported by Alcatel switches. This process restricts switch access at the VLAN
level. The user is required to enter a valid login ID and password before gaining membership to a VLAN.
