Device model and version: S5570S-54S-EI Release 1128
On-site configuration of 802.1x fallback does not take effect. When the server is unreachable, the user (1/0/27) cannot access the fallback VLAN, and the device cannot learn the terminal address.

1. The on-site device version is the latest
2. Interface configuration is as follows
#
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/27
port link-mode bridge
port access vlan 601
stp edged-port
dot1x
undo dot1x handshake
dot1x mandatory-domain carizon-domain
dot1x critical vlan 601
mac-authentication
mac-authentication domain carizon-domain
mac-authentication critical vlan 601

4. Debug information confirms server unreachable and authentication fail messages exist
*RADIUS/7/EVENT: Found request context, dstIP: x.x.x.x; dstPort: 1812; VPN instance: --(public); socketfd: 94; pktID:23.
*RADIUS/7/EVENT: Retransmitting request packet, currentTries: 3, maxTries: 3.
*DOT1X/7/EVENT: User aging timer expired: UserMAC=xxxx-xxxx-xx75, VLANID=601, Interface=GigabitEthernet1/0/27.
*DOT1X/7/EVENT: BE is in Initialize state: UserMAC=xxxx-xxxx-xx75, VLANID=601, Interface=GigabitEthernet1/0/27.
*DOT1X/7/EVENT: Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/27 received Set the port authorization status to unauthorized event.
After product line positioning: Adding 1x critical VLAN requires either mac-vlan enable (needs to be configured as a hybrid port) or port-based mode. For scenarios requiring both MAC and 1x authentication simultaneously, the solution is to change to a hybrid port.
Changing to a hybrid port on-site and configuring mac-vlan enable resolves the issue.
