User authentication, accounts, and addressing
Introduction

Switch port not bound to a VSC
When a switch port is not bound to a VSC, the following authentication options are
supported:
802.1X (Switch port)
MAC-based (Switch port)
If both options are enabled at the same time, then:
802.1X takes priority for client stations that are 802.1X enabled. If 802.1X authentication
fails, MAC authentication is not checked and the client station fails to authenticate.
MAC authentication takes priority for client stations that are not 802.1X enabled. If MAC
authentication fails, then the client station fails to authenticate.
User authentication limits
The following limits apply:
Client address is in the list and the
filter is set to allow.
Client access is granted. MAC-based authentication
is not performed.
Client address not in the list. Client access is granted or denied based on result of
MAC-based authentication.
