Originally added in release F.04.08 to provide access control through a RADIUS
server, this feature now includes Open VLAN Mode. This gives you a means for
allowing a client computer without 802.1X supplicant software to temporarily
join an unauthorized-client VLAN and proceed with initialization services, such
as acquiring IP addressing, 802.1X supplicant software, and other optional
services you may want to provide.
