When the user or device gets authenticated the netlogin process will check for the protocol precedence configured by the user in this port and apply or remove the action accordingly. From the previous example when the user “john” tries to authenticate using Dot1x the ExtremeXOS switch or authenticator will authenticate the MAC using MAC based authentication and apply the action corresponding to the MAC based authentication protocol which includes applying UPM profile, creating VLAN (Virtual LAN) (if netlogin dynamic VLAN is enabled on this port), VLAN movement etc.; when the user “john” then gets authenticated through Dot1x the ExtremeXOS switch or authenticator determines that Dot1x is the highest precedence protocol configured by the user in this port and removes the actions of MAC based authentication protocol and applies the Dot1x authentication protocol action that includes applying UPM profile, creating VLAN (if netlogin dynamic VLAN is enabled on this port), VLAN movement etc.; the MAC based authenticated client details still remains and continues to get reauthenticated for the configured time.
After performing the above actions, the netlogin process applies the highest precedence authentication protocol action configured for this port.
