  Caution: 
z  In string mode, if the VLAN ID assigned by the RADIUS server is a character string 
containing only digits (for example, 1024), the switch first regards it as an integer 
VLAN ID: the switch transforms the string to an integer value and judges if the value 
is in the valid VLAN ID range; if it is, the switch adds the authenticated port to the 
VLAN with the integer value as the VLAN ID (VLAN 1024, for example). 
z  To implement dynamic VLAN assignment on a port where both MSTP and 802.1x 
are enabled, you must set the MSTP port to an edge port. 
 
1.3.6  Configuring the Attributes of a Local User 
When local scheme is chosen as the AAA scheme, you should create local users on 
the switch and configure the relevant attributes. 
The local users are users set on the switch, with each user uniquely identified by a user 
name. To make a user who is requesting network service pass through the local 
authentication, you should add an entry in the local user database on the switch for the 
user.
