   When the MAC-based method is used, all the users accessing a port should be 
authenticated separately, only those pass the authentication can access the network, 
while the others can not. When one user becomes offline, the other users will not be 
affected. 
   When the user-based (IP address+ MAC address+ port) method is used, all users can 
access limited resources before being authenticated. There are two kinds of control in 
this method: standard control and advanced control. The user-based standard control 
will not restrict the access to limited resources, which means all users of this port can 
access limited resources before being authenticated. The user-based advanced control 
will restrict the access to limited resources, only some particular users of the port can 
access  limited  resources  before  being  authenticated.  Once  those  users  pass  the 
authentication, they can access all resources. 
Attention:  when  using  private  supplicant  systems,  user-based  advanced  control  is 
recommended to effectively prevent ARP cheat. 
The  maximum  number  of  the  authenticated  users  can  be  4000,  but  less  than  2000  will  be 
preferred. 
40.1.7 The Features of VLAN Allocation 
1. Auto VLAN 
Auto  VLAN  feature  enables  RADIUS  server  to  change  the  VLAN  to  which  the  access  port 
belongs,  based  on  the  user  information  and  the  user  access  device  information. When  an 
802.1x  user  passes  authentication  on  the  server,  the  RADIUS  server  will  send  the 
authorization information to the device, if the RADIUS server has enabled the VLAN-assigning 
function, then the following attributes should be included in the Access-Accept messages: 
   Tunnel-Type = VLAN (13) 
   Tunnel-Medium-Type = 802 (6) 
   Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = VLANID 
The  VLANID  here means  the  VID  of  VLAN, ranging  from  1  to  4094. For  example,  Tunnel-
Private-Group-ID = 30 means VLAN 30. 
When the switch receives the assigned Auto VLAN information, the current Access port will 
leave the VLAN set by the user and join Auto VLAN. 
Auto  VLAN  won’t  change  or  affect  the  port’s  configuration.  But  the  priority  of  Auto  VLAN  is 
higher  than  that of  the  user-set  VLAN, that  is  Auto  VLAN is  the one  takes  effect  when  the 
authentication is finished, while the user-set VLAN do not work until the user become offline.
