Simplify adds, moves and changes
Reduce manual IT operation tasks around initial deployment or on-going configuration changes to accommodate adds, moves and changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local-MAC-Authentication (LMA). Instead of statically pre-configuring access ports to VLANs and maintaining the switch port to VLAN mapping, colorless ports can automatically apply the role/policy required.
