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.
