Description
Use the vlan-assignment-mode command to set the VLAN assignment mode
(integer or string) on the switch.
By default, the VLAN assignment mode is integer, that is, the switch supports its
RADIUS authentication server to assign integer VLAN IDs.
The dynamic VLAN assignment feature enables a switch to dynamically add the ports
of the successfully authenticated users to different VLANs according to the attributes
assigned by the RADIUS server, so as to control the network resources that different
users can access.
In actual applications, to use this feature together with Guest VLAN, you should better
set port control to port-based mode.
Currently, the switch supports the RADIUS authentication server to assign the
following two types of VLAN IDs: integer and string.
z Integer: If the RADIUS server assigns integer type of VLAN IDs, you can set the
VLAN assignment mode to integer on the switch (this is also the default mode on
the switch). Then, upon receiving an integer ID assigned by the RADIUS
authentication server, the switch adds the port to the VLAN whose VLAN ID is
equal to the assigned integer ID. If no such a VLAN exists, the switch first creates
a VLAN with the assigned ID, and then adds the port to the newly created VLAN.
z String: If the RADIUS server assigns string type of VLAN IDs, you can set the
VLAN assignment mode to string on the switch. Then, upon receiving a string ID
assigned by the RADIUS authentication server, the switch compares the ID with
existing VLAN names on the switch. If it finds a match, it adds the port to the
corresponding VLAN. Otherwise, the VLAN assignment fails and the user cannot
pass the authentication.
The two dynamic VLAN assignment modes supported by the switch are set according
to the authentication server. Different authentication servers adopt different dynamic
