The following 802.1x feature enhancements will be supported:
Guest VLAN - This feature allows network administrators to give some limited access to the
network to unauthorized ports. The port would be a member in the Guest VLAN only after specific
timeout from “port up” (letting the supplicant to start the 802.1x), or after 802.1x authentication

authorization is not required for them.
802.1ab LLDP
LLDP - 802.1ab is an IEEE standard for Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Ethernet networks. It
provides a method for switches, routers and access points to advertise their identification,
configuration and capabilities to neighboring devices that store the data in a MIB (management
information base). Link layer discovery allows a network management system to model the
topology of the network by interrogating the MIB databases in the devices.
LLDP-MED - The Link Layer Discovery Protocol – Media Endpoint is an extension of the 802.1ab
IEEE standard of LLDP providing behavioral requirements for devices implementing the
extensions to enable correct multi-vendor interoperation.
IPv6 Host - The device functions as an IPv6 compliant Host, as well as IPv4 Host. This
functionality is provided in a pure IPv6 network as well as in a combined IPv4/IPv6
network.
Note
IPv6 was not tested for UNH/DoD certification.
Configurable Login Banner - The system supports a text based banner that is
configurable via CLI Command to enable telnet session to display security messages
above the login prompt prior to login.
