Limitations Using the Guest VLAN
1. Ports supporting Guest VLANs cannot be GVRP enabled and vice versa.
2. A port cannot be a member of a Guest VLAN and a static VLAN simultaneously.
3. Once a client has been accepted into the target VLAN, it can no longer access the Guest VLAN.
Remember, to set an 802.1X guest VLAN, the user must first configure a normal VLAN, which can be enabled here
for guest VLAN status. Only one VLAN may be assigned as the 802.1X guest VLAN.

Authenticator State
The following section describes the 802.1X Authenticator State on the Switch. This window displays the
Authenticator State for individual ports on a selected device. In Port-based mode if one of the attached hosts is
successfully authorized, all hosts on the same port will be granted access to the network. If the port authorization
fails, the specified port(s) will continue authenticating. In Host-based mode each user can individually authenticate
and access the network.
