About Dns Addressing; Eap-Tls Support For Authentication - Avaya 9608 Administrator's Manual

Note:
Regardless of the setting of L2Q, VLANTEST, or L2QVLAN, you must have administer
DHCP on the phone so that the phone receives a response to a DHCPDISCOVER on
making that request on the default (0) VLAN.
After VLANTEST expires, if the phone receives a non-zero L2QVLAN value, the phone
releases the IP address and sends DHCPDISCOVER on that VLAN. Any other release
requires you to perform a manual reset before the phone attempts to use a VLAN on which
VLANTEST has expired.
For more information on the Reset procedure, see Installing and maintaining Avaya IP
Deskphone 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G H.323.
The phone ignores any VLAN ID administered on the call server if a non-zero VLAN ID is
administered either by LLDP, manually, through DHCP, or through the settings file.

About DNS addressing

The 9600 IP deskphones support DNS addresses, dotted decimal addresses, and as of Release
6.0, colon-hex addresses. The phone attempts to resolve a non-ASCII-encoded dotted decimal IP
address by checking the contents of DHCP Option 6. For more information, see
Setup on page 53. At least one address in Option 6 must be a valid, non-zero, dotted decimal
address. Otherwise DNS fails. The text string for the DOMAIN system parameter, Option 15 is
appended to the addresses in Option 6 before the phone attempts DNS address resolution. If Option
6 contains a list of DNS addresses, those addresses are queried in the order given if no response is
received from previous addresses on the list. As an alternative to administering DNS by DHCP, you
can specify the DNS server and or the domain name in the HTTP script file. But first SET the
DNSSRVR and DOMAIN values so that you can use those names later in the script.
Note:
Administer Options 6 and 15 with DNS servers and domain names respectively.

EAP-TLS support for authentication

You can use the EAP-TLS as the mode of authentication. To activate this mode, you must add a
new parameter DOT1XEAPS, with valid values of MD5 or TLS to the settings file. The default value
is MD5. The call server supports EAP-TLS as specified in RFC 2716 if and only if an identity
certificate is present in the deskphone and if the value of DOT1XEAPS is TLS. If an EAP method
requires the authentication of a digital certificate, and if you have enabled the Supplicant on the
phone and the value of DOT1XEAPS changes, the Supplicant will transmit an EAPOL-Logoff
message and return to the CONNECTING state.
