<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re currently evaluating a Brocade ICX6450 for various things and have hit a bit of a stumbling block. We are doing mac-authentication via radius so have the unit configured as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">vlan 2 name office by port<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">tagged ethe 1/1/24 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> mac-vlan-permit ethe 1/1/2 to 1/1/23 <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">vlan 4 name voip by port<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">tagged ethe 1/1/24 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> mac-vlan-permit ethe 1/1/2 to 1/1/23 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">vlan 5 name fallback by port<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">tagged ethe 1/1/24 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> mac-vlan-permit ethe 1/1/2 to 1/1/23<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">mac-authentication enable

<p class="MsoNormal">mac-authentication mac-vlan-dyn-activation
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">mac-authentication auth-fail-vlan-id 5 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">interface ethernet 1/1/2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">mac-authentication mac-vlan max-mac-entries 16<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">voice-vlan 4<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Everything works fine and as we would expect. The problem we have and can’t find a solution to is how to make a client without a mac entry (and therefore no port authentication) appear on a default vlan. We need them on a vlan so we
can send a wake on lan request to sleeping clients. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With HPs and Junipers we just add the vlan we want them to be on by default as untagged to all edge ports which just works. As soon as they send a packet the client authenticates and when we send a WOL request to the default vlan they
wake up. With the brocades when I try to add a vlan to a port I get the following error message:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SSH@brocade-test(config-vlan-3)#untagged ethernet 1/1/2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Error - command not allowed for 'mac-vlan-permit' port: 1/1/2<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">I’ve had a good read through the documentation and it hasn’t helped so I’m wondering if anyone on this list has found a solution to this problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
