Zusammenfassung:	One embodiment disclosed relates to a method for a switch to respond to a new client. A new client is detected at a port of the switch. The switch temporarily assigns the port to be an untagged member of a virtual local area network (VLAN) which is configured for unauthorized clients. Initialization services are provided to the new client via the unauthorized-client VLAN. The new client may be authenticated by way of an authentication session using the unauthorized-client VLAN. If the new client is authenticated, then the untagged membership of the port in the unauthorized-client VLAN is dropped, and the port is assigned to be an untagged member of a specified VLAN.
