    Thank you for the reply. Yes I know I set up Extreme Access Control based on a free radius Server.

    802.1X-based authentication requires a RADIUS server for it to work on your network. An external RADIUS server performs the authentication. When a visitor is successfully authenticated, traffic is automatically assigned to the guest VLAN.

     

    Please check this article.
