Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X)

802.1X Open VLAN Mode

Table 12-1. 802.1X Open VLAN Mode Options

802.1X Per-Port Configuration Port Response

No Open VLAN mode: The port automatically blocks a client that cannot initiate an

authentication session.

Open VLAN mode with both of the following configured:

Unauthorized-Client VLAN • When the port detects a client without 802.1X supplicant

capability, it automatically becomes an untagged member of this

VLAN. If you previously configured the port as a static, tagged

member of the VLAN, membership temporarily changes to

untagged while the client remains unauthenticated.

• If the port already has a statically configured, untagged

membership in another VLAN, then the port temporarily closes

access to this other VLAN while in the Unauthorized-Client VLAN.

• To limit security risks, the network services and access available

on the Unauthorized-Client VLAN should include only what a client

needs to enable an authentication session. If the port is statically

configured as a tagged member of any other VLANs, access to

these VLANs is blocked while the port is a member of the

Unauthorized-Client VLAN.

Note for a Port Configured To Allow Multiple Client Sessions: If any

previously authenticated clients are using a port assigned to a VLAN

other than the Unauthorized-Client VLAN, then a later client that is

not running 802.1X supplicant software is blocked on the port until all

other, authenticated clients on the port have disconnected.
