3-2Configuring EAD Fast DeploymentCurrently, MAC authentication and port security cannot work together with EAD fast deployment. OnceMAC authentication or port security is enabled globally, the EAD fast deployment is disabledautomatically.Configuration Prerequisitesz Enable 802.1X globally.z Enable 802.1X on the specified port, and set the access control mode to auto.Configuration ProcedureConfiguring a freely accessible network segmentA freely accessible network segment, also called a free IP, is a network segment that users can accessbefore passing 802.1X authentication.Once a free IP is configured, the fast deployment of EAD is enabled.Follow these steps to configure a freely accessible network segment:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Configure a freelyaccessible networksegmentdot1x free-ip ip-address{ mask-address | mask-length }RequiredNo freely accessible network segmentis configured by default.z You cannot configure both the free IP and the 802.1X guest VLAN function.z If no freely accessible network segment is configured, a user cannot obtain a dynamic IP addressbefore passing 802.1X authentication. To solve this problem, you can configure a freelyaccessible network segment that is on the same network segment with the DHCP server.
