26.7.3 Linkage with the Layer 2 authentication functionality

MAC VLANs can link with the Layer 2 authentication functionality to dynamically registered MAC addresses with a VLAN. The following are types of the Layer 2 authentication functionality that can be linked:

• IEEE802.1X

• Web Authentication

• MAC-based Authentication

The MAC addresses of printers, servers, and other terminals that connect to a MAC port without using the Layer 2 authentication functionality are registered with VLANs during configuration.

When the same MAC address is set for configuration and the Layer 2 authentication functionality, the configuration MAC address is registered.
