Hi, I come from CISCO world. For our customer I need to configure 802.1x netlogin on their "Default" VLAN. They use this default VLAN for several years. It´s a BD8810 switch with XOS 12.5.1.6.

When I want to use commands from Concept guide and use a example for enable netlogin, the switch write back: ERROR: No ports should be assigned to the NetLogin VLAN.

For command: enable netlogin dot1x, it write back: ERROR: No NetLogin VLAN is configured. Configuration failed on backup MSM, command execution aborted!

Is it possible to use 802.1x authentication on "default VLAN"

thanks for any reply

Hi,

i think you must create a separate vlan for netlogin. This vlan is a temporary vlan for unauthenticated clients. Don´t move ports to this vlan.
e.g.:
create vlan no_auth_test
conf netlogin vlan no_auth_test
enable netlogin dot1x
en netlogin ports 1:1-48 dot1x
...
Try it.
