Specifying a Destination VLAN
If you configure a local netlogin account with a destination VLAN, upon successful authentication, the
client transitions to the permanent, destination VLAN. You can specify the destination VLAN when you
initially create the local netlogin account or at a later time.
Adding VLANs when Creating a Local Netlogin Account. To specify the destination VLAN when creating
the local netlogin account, use the following command and specify the
vlan-vsa option with the
associated parameters:
create netlogin local-user <user-name> {encrypted <password>} {vlan-vsa [[{tagged |
untagged} [<vlan_name>] | <vlan_tag>]]}
Where the following is true:
● tagged—Specifies that the client be added as tagged
● untagged—Specifies that the client be added as untagged
● vlan_name—Specifies the name of the destination VLAN
● vlan_tag—Specifies the VLAN ID, tag, of the destination VLAN
The following example:
â—Ź Creates a new local netlogin user name
â—Ź Creates a password associated with the local netlogin user name
â—Ź Adds the VLAN test1 as the destination VLAN
The following is a sample display from this command:
create netlogin local-user megtest vlan-vsa "test1"
password: <Enter the password. The switch does not display the password.>
Reenter password: <Re-enter the password. The switch does not display the password.>
Adding VLANs at a Later Time. To specify the destination VLAN after you created the local netlogin
account, use the following command:
configure netlogin local-user <user-name> {vlan-vsa [[{tagged | untagged}
[<vlan_name>] | <vlan_tag>]] | none]}
Where the following is true:
● tagged—Specifies that the client be added as tagged
● untagged—Specifies that the client be added as untagged
● vlan_name—Specifies the name of the destination VLAN
● vlan_tag—Specifies the VLAN ID, tag, of the destination VLAN
● none—Specifies that the VSA 211 wildcard (*) is applied, only if you do not specify tagged or
untagged
The following example:
â—Ź Modifies a previously created local netlogin account
â—Ź Specifies that clients are added as tagged to the VLAN
â—Ź Adds the VLAN blue as the destination VLAN
configure netlogin local-user megtest vlan-vsa tagged "blue"
