Table 4 lists the minimum software release required to support the major features of the Catalyst 2960-C and
2960-Plus switches and the Cisco EtherSwitch service modules.
CDP Bypass Authentication sessions are established in single and multi-host modes for IP Phones.
However, if voice VLAN and 802.1x on an interface port is enabled, then CDP Bypass
is enabled when the host mode is set to single or multi-host mode.
Note Note: By default the host mode is set to single mode in legacy mode and
multi-authentication in the eedge mode.
Use the following commands to configure CDP bypass:
Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface <interface-id>
Device(config-if)# switchport mode access
Device(config-if)# switchport voice vlan <vlan-id>
Device(config-if)# authentication port-control auto
Device(config-if)# authentication host-mode single | multi-host
Device(config-if)# dot1x pae authenticator
