z 

Enable 802.1x on the switch. 

z 

Set the port authorization mode to auto for 802.1x-enabled ports using the  dot1x port-control 

command. 

A free IP range is an IP range that users can access before passing 802.1x authentication.  

Follow these steps to configure a free IP range: 

Enter system view 

— 

Configure the URL for HTTP 
redirection 

dot1x url url-string 

Required 

Configure a free IP range 

dot1x free-ip ip-address 
{ mask-address | mask-length } 

Required 

By default, no free IP range is 
configured. 

 

z 

You must configure the URL for HTTP redirection before configuring a free IP range. A URL must 

start with http:// and the segment where the URL resides must be in the free IP range. Otherwise, 

the redirection function cannot take effect. 

z 

You must disable the DHCP-triggered authentication function of 802.1x before configuring a free IP 

range.  

z 

With dot1x enabled but quick EAD deployment disabled, users cannot access the DHCP server if 

they fail 802.1x authentication. With quick EAD deployment enabled, users can obtain IP 

addresses dynamically before passing authentication if the IP address of the DHCP server is in the 

free IP range.  

z 

The quick EAD deployment function applies to only ports with the authorization mode set to auto 

through the dot1x port-control command.  

z 

At present, 802.1x is the only access approach that supports quick EAD deployment. 

z 

Currently, the quick EAD deployment function does not support port security. The configured free 

IP range cannot take effect if you enable port security.  

z 

The quick EAD deployment function and the MAC address authentication function are mutually 

exclusive. You cannot configure both the functions on the switch. 

 

The quick EAD deployment function depends on ACLs in restricting access of users failing 

authentication. Each online user that has not passed authentication occupies a certain amount of ACL 

resources. After a user passes authentication, the occupied ACL resources will be released. When a
