802.1x guest-vlan User Documentation Addendum
page 1-6 Release 5.1.6.R02 User Guide Supplement June 2005
802.1x guest-vlan
Configures a guest VLAN for an 802.1x port. When non-802.1x traffic is received on the specified port, it
is assigned to the guest VLAN.
802.1x slot/port guest-vlan {vid | disable}
Syntax Definitions
slot The slot number of the 802.1x port.
port The 802.1x port number.
vid The VLAN ID number that will serve as a guest VLAN for the 802.1x
port.
disable Disables the guest VLAN functionality for the 802.1x port.
Defaults
By default a guest VLAN is not configured for 802.1x ports.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6624, 6648, 7700, 7800, 8800
Usage Guidelines
•If a guest VLAN is already configured for the specified 802.1x port, the existing VLAN ID is overwrit-
ten with the new value. For example, if VLAN 10 is configured as a guest VLAN for 802.1x port 10/24
and this command is entered specifying VLAN 20, then VLAN 20 becomes the new guest VLAN for
the port.
•Using the disable pulmotor also removes the guest VLAN association from the 802.1x port. The func-
tionality is enabled again when a new guest VLAN is configured.
•The guest VLAN option is only available for 802.1x ports operating in the auto mode.
•Only one guest VLAN per 802.1x port is allowed.
•The VLAN ID specified with this command must already exist. VLANs are created using the vlan
command.
•Note that on an OmniSwitch 6624/6648, non-802.1x clients learned on the guest VLAN are dropped if
an 802.1x client successfully accesses the same port.
