When MAC-based authentication (fixed VLAN mode), IEEE 802.1X authentication (port-based and VLAN-based (static)), and Web authentication (fixed VLAN mode) are all enabled, the total authenticated terminals allowed among all the authentication modes is 1024.
 - Note #2
 - 
                  
When MAC-based authentication (dynamic VLAN mode), Web authentication (dynamic VLAN mode), and IEEE 802.1X authentication (VLAN-based (dynamic)) are all enabled, the total authenticated terminals allowed among all the authentication modes is 1024 per switch.
