802.1x Support

The IP phones support the IEEE 802.1x Protocol. The 802.1x Protocol is a standard for passing Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) over a wired or wireless Local Area Network (LAN).
The 802.1x Protocol on the IP phone facilitates media-level access control, and offers the capability to permit or deny
network connectivity, control LAN access, and apply traffic policy, based on user or endpoint identity. This feature sup-
ports both the EAP-MD5 and EAP-TLS Protocols.
Note:
If configuring 802.1x using the IP Phone UI, the certificates and private keys must already be configured and stored on
the phone. Use the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI to load certificates and private keys.
An Administrator can configure the following parameters for the 802.1x Protocol.
