Technical Note: Wired host registers using Anonymous Authentication but no VLAN switch until L2 Poll

[cmaheu]

Description
After a host connected to the wired network registers using Anonymous Authentication, no VLAN switching occurs.  Performing a Layer 2 Poll will trigger the VLAN Switch.

Scope
Version:  8.x

Solution

Workaround:  Create a Network Access Policy for the host to match after Anonymous Authentication registration completes. This will trigger the host to change VLANs without waiting for the next Layer 2 poll to occur.

For configuration instructions, refer to the section Network access policies of the Administration Guide in the Fortinet Document Library.

Solution:  Addressed in version 8.7.5 and 8.8.1.
