The RADIUS server or IEEE 802.1X Authenticator can provide information to the switch about which VLAN to assign the host (supplicant). When a host connects to a switch that uses a RADIUS server or 802.1X Authenticator to authenticate the host, the host authentication can typically have one of three outcomes: • The host is authenticated. • The host attempts to authenticate but fail because it lacks certain security credentials. • The host is a guest and does not try to authenticate at all. You can create three separate VLANs on the switch to handle hosts depending on whether the host authenticates, fails the authentication, or is a guest. The RADIUS server informs the switch of the selected VLAN as part of the authentication. Authenticated and Unauthenticated VLANs Hosts that authenticate normally use a VLAN that includes access to network resources. Hosts that fail the authentication might be denied access to the network or placed on a "quarantine" VLAN with limited network access. 100 Device Security
