What you need is MAC authentication enabled on the C3, which will then
query NAC over RADIUS, NAC will match the MAC address against a rule and
send back a policy that maps it to vlan X.

The S/N/K switches can do this without having authentication enabled on
the port, and they can then apply arbitrary policies to that traffic, e.g.
I have one that drops port 5353 (mDNS) from our Apple TVs at the core:

set policy profile 14 name "Apple TV Block"
set policy rule admin-profile macsource 7c-d1-c3-00-00-00 mask 24
admin-pid 14
set policy rule admin-profile macsource 9c-20-7b-00-00-00 mask 24
admin-pid 14
set policy rule 14 udpsourceportIP 5353 mask 16 drop
set policy rule 14 udpdestportIP 5353 mask 16 drop


Whereas B/C/G can only apply a policy to all of the traffic from that MAC
address.
