RADIUS-based authentication

In web-based and MAC authentication, you use a RADIUS server to temporarily assign a port to a static VLAN to support an authenticated client. When a RADIUS server authenticates a client, the switch-port membership during the client's connection is determined according to the following hierarchy:

Procedure
  1. A RADIUS-assigned VLAN.
  2. An authorized VLAN specified in the web-based or MAC authentication configuration for the subject port.
  3. A static, port-based, untagged VLAN to which the port is configured. A RADIUS-assigned VLAN has priority over switch-port membership in any VLAN.
