Enabling 802.1X
Follow these guidelines when you enable 802.1X:
• If the PVID of a port is a voice VLAN, the 802.1X function cannot take effect on the port. For more
information about voice VLANs, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
• 802.1X is mutually exclusive with link aggregation group configuration on a port.
• On an 802.1X and MAC authentication enabled port, the EAP packet from an unknown MAC
address immediately triggers 802.1X authentication, and any other type of packet from an
unknown MAC address triggers MAC authentication 30 seconds after its arrival.
