802.1x (EAP) Port-based network access control
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) supports multiple authentication methods and
represents a technology framework that facilitates the adoption of Authentication,
Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) schemes, such as Remote Authentication Dial In User
Service (RADIUS). RADIUS is defined in RFC2865.
802.1x defines the following three roles:
1. Supplicant—an IP Deskphone requires access to the network to use network
services.
2. Authenticator—the network entry point to which the supplicant physically connects
(typically a Layer 2/3 switch). The authenticator acts as the proxy between the
supplicant and the authentication server. The authenticator controls access to the
network based on the authentication status of the supplicant.
3. Authentication server—performs authentication of the supplicant.
Enable and disable Network-level authentication through the EAP configuration menu.
The RADIUS server is the authentication server and performs the actual authentication of the
supplicant. The following EAP methods are supported:
•
EAP-MD5 on page 274
• EAP-PEAP on page 274
•
EAP-TLS on page 274
The following options are available for the administrator:
• When EAP-MD5 is selected, the administrator is prompted to enter ID1 and Password.
• When EAP-PEAP is selected, the administrator is prompted to enter ID1, ID2, and
Password. If the administrator enters only ID1, then ID2 contains same value of ID1.
