Group,

I am trying to determine whether VMPS or Dynamic VLANs through dot1x is the appropriate solution for a sample lab question given a general set of requirements (have the clients on some ports be dynamically assigned their VLAN - configuration information is found at 1.2.3.4).
 
I believe VMPS can only assign VLANs based upon previously defined MAC addresses while dot1x-based dynamic VLANs are based upon username/password login credentials.
 
Can anyone shed some light on how to distinguish between these two, and which indicators might push the "better choice" one way or the other?
 
Thanks,
Ken
