VLAN Configuration Example

The diagram in this section shows a switch with four ports configured to handle the traffic for two VLANs. Port 0/2 handles traffic for both VLANs, while port 0/1 is a member of VLAN 2 only, and ports 0/3 and 0/4 are members of VLAN 3 only. The script following the diagram shows the commands you would use to configure the switch as shown in the diagram.

Configuring a Guest VLAN

You can configure a Guest VLAN for clients to limit network access. If a client station fails to authenticate using 802.1X or RADIUS, or if the client does not support 802.1X, then after the authentication times out, the station is put on the guest VLAN configured for that switch port.

For more information about how to configure a Guest VLAN for wired clients, see “Guest VLAN” on page 39.

Configuring Dynamic VLAN Assignments

The software supports VLAN assignment for clients based on the RADIUS server authentication. You need an external RADIUS server to use the dynamic VLAN assignment feature. For information about how to configure the switch to allow dynamic VLAN assignments, see “Configuring Dynamic VLAN Assignment” on page 41.
