Configuring 802.1x Authentication
Configuring Voice Aware 802.1x Security
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
shutdown vlan global configuration command. You disable voice aware 802.1x security by entering
the no version of this command. This command applies to all 802.1x-configured ports in the switch.
Note If you do not include the shutdown vlan keywords, the entire port is shut down when it enters the
error-disabled state.
If you use the errdisable recovery cause security-violation global configuration command to
configure error-disabled recovery, the port is automatically re-enabled. If error-disabled recovery is
not configured for the port, you re-enable it by using the shutdown and no-shutdown interface
configuration commands.
You can re-enable individual VLANs by using the clear errdisable interface interface-id vlan
[vlan-list] privileged EXEC command. If you do not specify a range, all VLANs on the port are
enabled.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable voice aware 802.1x security:
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 errdisable detect cause
security-violation shutdown vlan
Shut down any VLAN on which a security violation error occurs.
Note If the shutdown vlan keywords are not included, the entire port
enters the error-disabled state and shuts down.
Step 3 errdisable recovery cause
security-violation
(Optional) Enable automatic per-VLAN error recovery.
Step 4 clear errdisable interface interface-id
vlan [vlan-list]
(Optional) Reenable individual VLANs that have been error disabled.
For interface-id specify the port on which to reenable individual
VLANs.
(Optional) For vlan-list specify a list of VLANs to be re-enabled. If
vlan-list is not specified, all VLANs are re-enabled.
Step 5 shutdown
no-shutdown
(Optional) Re-enable an error-disabled VLAN, and clear all error-disable
indications.
Step 6 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7 show errdisable detect Verify your entries.
Step 8 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
