Administrator Options

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.

An Administrator can configure the following parameters for the 802.1x Protocol.

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.
