auth-default-vlan (the authentication default VLAN), VLAN 2 in the following example. Interface level
configuration for dot1x authentication and MAC authentication conform to any new CLI changes that are
part of the upgrade.
For example, before upgrade, with dot1x authentication enabled on port 2/1/24 and MAC authentication
enabled on 2/1/23 globally and at the interface level, the configured ports are part of the default VLAN.
After upgrade, since port 2/1/23 and 2/1/24 are part of the default VLAN, they become part of the auth-
default-vlan, VLAN 2 in this example.
vlan 1 name DEFAULT-VLAN by port >> 2/1/24 and 2/1/23 ports are part of default vlan
!
