7.1.3 Setting Fixed VLAN Mode

Sets the authentication mode to fixed VLAN mode for a given interface.

Points to note

Configure an access port and enable IEEE802.1X authorization on that port. You then specify the authentication sub-mode. If you omit the authentication sub-mode setting, the port will operate in single-terminal mode.
