HP A5830 Series User Manual

If a user in the guest VLAN passes MAC authentication, the user is removed from the guest VLAN and
can access all authorized network resources. If not, the user is still in the MAC authentication guest
VLAN.
A hybrid port is always assigned to a guest VLAN as an untagged member. After the assignment, do not
re-configure the port as a tagged member in the VLAN.
