When the devices attempt to connect to the network, they are first subject to multi-device port authentication.

When the MAC address of the IP phone is authenticated, the Access-Accept message from the RADIUS server specifies that the IP phone port be placed into the VLAN named “IP-Phone-VLAN”. which is VLAN 7. The Foundry-802_1x-enable attribute is set to 0, meaning that 802.1X authentication is skipped for this MAC address. Port e 1/1/3 is placed in VLAN 7 as a tagged port. No further authentication is performed.

When the PC MAC address is authenticated, the Access-Accept message from the RADIUS server specifies that the PVID for the PC port be changed to the VLAN named “Login-VLAN”, which is VLAN 1024. The Foundry-802_1x-enable attribute is set to 1, meaning that 802.1X authentication is required for this MAC address. The PVID of the port e 1/1/3 is temporarily changed to VLAN 1024, pending 802.1X authentication.

When User 1 attempts to connect to the network from the PC, he is subject to 802.1X authentication. If User 1 is successfully authenticated, the Access-Accept message from the RADIUS server specifies that the PVID for User 1 port be changed to the VLAN named “User-VLAN”, which is VLAN 3. If 802.1X authentication for User 1 is unsuccessful, the PVID for port e 1/1/3 is changed to that of the restricted VLAN, which is 1023, or untagged traffic from port e 1/1/3 can be blocked in hardware.

The part of the running-config related to port e 1/1/3 would be as follows.
