Configuring a free IP
Follow these guidelines when you configure a free IP:
When a free IP is configured, the EAD fast deployment is enabled. To allow a user to obtain a dynamic IP address before passing 802.1X authentication, make sure the DHCP server is on the free IP segment.
When global MAC authentication or port security is enabled, the free IP does not take effect.
If you use free IP, guest VLAN, and Auth-Fail VLAN features together, make sure that the free IP segments are in both guest VLAN and Auth-Fail VLAN. Users can access only the free IP segments.
