Cisco Unified IP Phone 8941 User Manual

◦
Enabled: If you are using a switch that supports multidomain authentication, you can enable the
PC port and connect a PC to it. In this case, Cisco IP Phones support proxy EAPOL-Logoff to
monitor the authentication exchanges between the switch and the attached PC. For more information
about IEEE 802.1X support on the Cisco Catalyst switches, see the Cisco Catalyst switch
configuration guides at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
◦
Disabled: If the switch does not support multiple 802.1X-compliant devices on the same port, you
should disable the PC Port when 802.1X authentication is enabled. If you do not disable this port
and subsequently attempt to attach a PC to it, the switch denies network access to both the phone
and the PC.
•
Configure Voice VLAN: Because the 802.1X standard does not account for VLANs, you should configure
this setting based on the switch support.
◦
Enabled: If you are using a switch that supports multidomain authentication, you can continue to
use the voice VLAN.
◦
Disabled: If the switch does not support multidomain authentication, disable the Voice VLAN and
consider assigning the port to the native VLAN.
