How to Configure 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring Voice Aware 802.1x Security
Note
To use voice aware IEEE 802.1x authentication, the switch must be running the LAN base image.
You use the voice aware 802.1x security feature on the switch to disable only the VLAN on which a security
violation occurs, whether it is a data or voice VLAN. You can use this feature in IP phone deployments where
a PC is connected to the IP phone. A security violation found on the data VLAN results in the shutdown of
only the data VLAN. The traffic on the voice VLAN flows through the switch without interruption.
Follow these guidelines to configure voice aware 802.1x voice security on the switch:
• You enable voice aware 802.1x security by entering the errdisable detect cause security-violation
• If you use the errdisable recovery cause security-violation global configuration command to configure
• You can re-enable individual VLANs by using the clear errdisable interface interface-id vlan [vlan-list]
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable voice aware 802.1x security:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. errdisable detect cause security-violation shutdown vlan
3. errdisable recovery cause security-violation
4. clear errdisable interfaceinterface-id vlan [vlan-list]
5. Enter the following:
6. end
7. show errdisable detect
