Configuring 802.1X Protocol on Avaya G250 and G350
Media Gateways for an Avaya IP Telephone with an
Attached PC – Issue 1.0
Abstract
The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a client-server based access control and authentication
protocol that restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through publicly
accessible ports. 802.1X provides a means of authenticating and authorizing users attached to a
LAN port and of preventing access to that port in cases where the authentication process fails.
Avaya G250 and G350 Media Gateways support 802.1X as authenticators and Avaya IP
telephones support 802.1X as supplicants. These Application Notes provide the steps
necessary to configure 802.1X on the Avaya G350 Media Gateway and the Avaya IP
telephone with an attached PC using a FreeRADIUS server. The same approach can be
followed when using an Avaya G250 Media Gateway.
