802.1x
A component of IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols, 802.1x addresses port-based
Network Access Control. It provides an authentication mechanism for devices attaching to
a LAN port to either establish a point-to-point connection or prevent the device from
accessing the port if authentication fails. 802.1x is based on the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP).
ShorePhones IP110 and IP210 do not support 802.1x.
Feature Description
ShorePhones that are updated to ShoreTel 9 comply with all mandatory 802.1x
functionality for Class III Communications Device Endpoints and selected optional
capabilities or limitations.
If 802.1x is enabled on the ShorePhone and disabled on the Network switch, the
ShorePhone never comes up.
Implementation
ShoreTel changes that support IEEE 802.1x implementation include:
• Definition of a new telephone parameter – 802.1xEnable
802.1xEnable is a one character ASCII parameter. Valid settings for 802.1xEnable are 0
and 1:
— 802.1xEnable = 1 (802.1 authentication is enabled)
— 802.1xEnable = 0 (802.1 authentication is disabled)
Default value is 0 (disabled)
