Help on 802.1x

[ROSER72]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a network with 802.1x with IP telephony. Can anyone tell me how to setup a 470 to support 802.1x and at the same time support the possibility to have the pc or laptop connected to the phone switch. My first doubt is whether the switch port must be set on access mode or trunk port.

Thanks in advance,

I'll assume you've got two VLANs programmed. VLAN 1 for data, and VLAN 100 for voice. Substitute the proper numbers to match your configuration.

We'll say your phone is connecting to port 10. Make port 10 a member of both VLAN 1 and VLAN 100. Under the VLAN port configuration, set the PVID to 1 and taggig to Untag PVID Only. On the telephone, configure the voice VLAN to 100. Voice packets will go into VLAN 100 and untagged packets from the PC port will go into VLAN 1.

The ports that uplink the 470 to the rest of the network (if there is more) need to be configured as trunk ports with membership in both VLANs.

And what about the 802.1x?

Try this document.

If you are running 3.6 software the switch supports Multiple Host (MAC) with Multiple Authentication (MHMA). This will allow you to authenticate up to 32 different devices on a single port.
