denies the client access or because the RADIUS server request 
times out (according to the timeout specified on the 
"Configuration→Security→AAA" page) - the client is put on hold 
in the Unauthorized state. The hold timer does not count during 
an on-going authentication. 
In MAC-based Auth. mode, the switch will ignore new frames 
coming from the client during the hold time. 
The Hold Time can be set to a number between 10 and 1000000 
seconds. 
• RADIUS-Assigned 
QoS Enabled 
RADIUS-assigned QoS provides a means to centrally control the 
traffic class to which traffic coming from a successfully 
authenticated supplicant is assigned on the switch. The RADIUS 
server must be configured to transmit special RADIUS attributes 
to take advantage of this feature (see RADIUS-Assigned QoS 
Enabled below for a detailed description). 
The "RADIUS-Assigned QoS Enabled" checkbox provides a quick 
way to globally enable/disable RADIUS-server assigned QoS Class 
functionality. When checked, the individual ports' ditto setting 
determines whether RADIUS-assigned QoS Class is enabled for 
that port. When unchecked, RADIUS-server assigned QoS Class is 
disabled for all ports. 
• RADIUS-Assigned 
VLAN Enabled 
RADIUS-assigned VLAN provides a means to centrally control the 
VLAN on which a successfully authenticated supplicant is placed 
on the switch. Incoming traffic will be classified to and switched 
on the RADIUS-assigned VLAN. The RADIUS server must be 
configured to transmit special RADIUS attributes to take 
advantage of this feature (see RADIUS-Assigned VLAN Enabled 
below for a detailed description). 
The "RADIUS-Assigned VLAN Enabled" checkbox provides a quick 
way to globally enable/disable RADIUS-server assigned VLAN 
functionality. When checked, the individual ports' ditto setting 
determines whether RADIUS-assigned VLAN is enabled for that 
port. When unchecked, RADIUS-server assigned VLAN is disabled 
for all ports. 
• Guest VLAN 
Enabled 
A Guest VLAN is a special VLAN - typically with limited network 
access - on which 802.1X-unaware clients are placed after a 
network administrator-defined timeout. The switch follows a set 
of rules for entering and leaving the Guest VLAN as listed below. 
The "Guest VLAN Enabled" checkbox provides a quick way to
