Usage Information
802.1X authentication is enabled when an interface is connected to the switch. If the host fails to
respond within a designated amount of time, the authenticator places the port in the guest VLAN.
If a device does not respond within 30 seconds, it is assumed that the device is not 802.1X capable.
Therefore, a guest VLAN is allocated to the interface and authentication, for the device, will occur at
the next re-authentication interval (dot1x reauthentication).
If the host fails authentication for the designated amount of times, the authenticator places the port in
authentication failed VLAN (dot1x auth-fail-vlan).

Note: Layer 3 portion of guest VLAN and authentication fail VLANs can be created
regardless if the VLAN is assigned to an interface or not. Once an interface is assigned a guest
VLAN (which has an IP address), then routing through the guest VLAN is the same as any
other traffic. However, interface may join/leave a VLAN dynamically.
