802.1X Support - Mitel 6867i Administrator's Manual

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 supports 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 Mitel
Web UI to load certificates and private keys
An Administrator can configure the following parameters for the 802.1x Protocol.
