Flexible authentication order

You can configure the order of authentication methods that the switch will use to authenticate an end device. By default, the switch will first attempt to authenticate using 802.1X authentication, then MAC RADIUS authentication, and then captive portal. You can override the default order of authentication methods by configuring the authentication-order statement to specify that the switch use either 802.1X authentication or MAC RADIUS authentication first. Captive portal must always be last in the order of authentication methods.
