Settings in this row apply to all ports.

 

Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row

 

first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.

 

 

Active

Select this checkbox to enable the guest VLAN feature on this port.

 

Clients that fail authentication are placed in the guest VLAN and can receive limited

 

services.

 

 

Guest Vlan

A guest VLAN is a pre-configured VLAN on the Switch that allows non-authenticated users

 

to access limited network resources through the Switch. You must also enable IEEE 802.1x

 

authentication on the Switch and the associated ports. Enter the number that identifies the

 

guest VLAN.

 

Make sure this is a VLAN recognized in your network.
