Kenneth you can actually use both methods for assigning VLANs based on user login. with 802.1x this
information is provided with VLAN to user mappings in the radius server. So you must configure the ports for
this as well as radius authent and other 802.1x commands.
With using VMPS and URT you simply tell the switch what the address of the VMPS server is (like and 1100, not
sure this works with using a CAT 6000) and set the ports to access mode and switch acc vlan dyn..
So I would say the latter would meet the requirements of your question better as it doesn't say based on user login credentials, plus doesn't mention anything about a radius server etc.
That is my thoughts.

Subject: VMPS vs. Dynamic VLANs through dot1x
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
