Chapter 10 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Understanding IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
You can configure open authentication with these scenarios:
•
Single-host mode with open authentication–Only one user is allowed network access before and
after authentication.
•
MDA mode with open authentication–Only one user in the voice domain and one user in the data
domain are allowed.
•
Multiple-hosts mode with open authentication–Any host can access the network.
•
Multiple-authentication mode with open authentication–Similar to MDA, except multiple hosts can
be authenticated.
For more information see the
“Configuring the Host Mode” section on page 10-44.
Multidomain Authentication
The switch supports multidomain authentication (MDA), which allows both a data device and voice
device, such as an IP phone (Cisco or non-Cisco), to authenticate on the same switch port. The port is
divided into a data domain and a voice domain.
MDA does not enforce the order of device authentication. However, for best results, we recommend that
a voice device is authenticated before a data device on an MDA-enabled port.
Follow these guidelines for configuring MDA:
•
To configure a switch port for MDA, see the
“Configuring the Host Mode” section on page 10-44
•
You must configure the voice VLAN for the IP phone when the host mode is set to multidomain. For
more information, see
Chapter 15, “Configuring Voice VLAN.”
•
Voice VLAN assignment on an MDA-enabled port is supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE
and later.
Note
If you use a dynamic VLAN to assign a voice VLAN on an MDA-enabled switch port, the voice
device fails authorization.
•
To authorize a voice device, the AAA server must be configured to send a Cisco Attribute-Value
(AV) pair attribute with a value of
device-traffic-class=voice
. Without this value, the switch
treats the voice device as a data device.
•
The guest VLAN and restricted VLAN features only apply to the data devices on an MDA-enabled
port. The switch treats a voice device that fails authorization as a data device.
•
If more than one device attempts authorization on either the voice or the data domain of a port, it is
error disabled.
•
Until a device is authorized, the port drops its traffic. Non-Cisco IP phones or voice devices are
allowed into both the data and voice VLANs. The data VLAN allows the voice device to contact a
DHCP server to obtain an IP address and acquire the voice VLAN information. After the voice
device starts sending on the voice VLAN, its access to the data VLAN is blocked.
•
A voice device MAC address that is binding on the data VLAN is not counted towards the port
security MAC address limit.
•
You can use dynamic VLAN assignment from a RADIUS server only for data devices.
•
MDA can use MAC authentication bypass as a fallback mechanism to allow the switch port to
connect to devices that do not support IEEE 802.1x authentication. For more information, see the
