Example: Configuring VoIP on an EX Series Switch Without Including 802.1X Authentication
You can configure voice over IP (VoIP) on an EX Series switch to support IP telephones.
To configure VoIP on an EX Series switch to support an IP phone that does not support 802.1X authentication, you must either add the MAC address of the phone to the static MAC bypass list or enable MAC RADIUS authentication on the switch.
This example describes how to configure VoIP on an EX Series switch without 802.1X authentication using static MAC bypass of authentication:
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
- Junos OS Release 9.1 or later for EX Series switches
- An IP telephone
Before you configure VoIP, be sure you have:
- Installed your EX Series switch. See Installing and Connecting an EX3200 Switch.
- Performed the initial switch configuration. See Connecting and Configuring an EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure).
- Performed basic bridging and VLAN configuration on the switch. See Example: Setting Up Basic Bridging and a VLAN for an EX Series Switch.
- Configured the RADIUS server for 802.1X authentication and set up the access profile. See Example: Connecting a RADIUS Server for 802.1X to an EX Series Switch.
- (Optional) Configured interface ge-0/0/2 for Power over Ethernet (PoE). The PoE configuration is not necessary if the VoIP supplicant is using a power adapter. For information about configuring PoE, see Configuring PoE (CLI Procedure).
![]() | Note: If the IP address isn't configured on the Avaya IP phone, the phone exchanges LLDP-MED information to get the VLAN ID for the voice VLAN. You must configure the voip statement on the interface to designate the interface as a VoIP interface and allow the switch to forward the VLAN name and VLAN ID for the voice VLAN to the IP telephone. The IP telephone then uses the voice VLAN (that is, it references the voice VLAN’s ID) to send a DHCP discover request and exchange information with the DHCP server (voice gateway). |
Overview
Instead of using a regular telephone, you connect an IP telephone directly to the switch. An IP phone has all the hardware and software needed to handle VoIP. You also can power an IP telephone by connecting it to one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) interfaces on the switch.
In this example, the access interface ge-0/0/2 on the EX4200 switch is connected to a non-802.1X IP phone.
To configure VoIP on an EX Series switch to support an IP phone that does not support 802.1X authentication, add the MAC address of the phone as a static entry in the authenticator database and set the supplicant mode to multiple.
Configuration
To configure VoIP without 802.1X authentication:
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure VoIP, copy the following commands and paste them into the switch terminal window:
[edit]

Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure VoIP without 802.1X:
- Configure the VLANs for voice and data:
[edit vlans]
user@switch# set data-vlan vlan-id 77
user@switch# set voice-vlan vlan-id 99 - Associate the VLAN data-vlan with the interface:
[edit vlans]
user@switch# set data-vlan interface ge-0/0/2.0
- Configure the interface as an access interface, configure support for Ethernet switching, and add the data-vlan VLAN:
- Configure VoIP on the interface and specify the assured-forwarding forwarding class to provide the most dependable class of service:
[edit ethernet-switching-options]
user@switch# set voip interface ge-0/0/2.0 vlan voice-vlan
user@switch# set voip interface ge-0/0/2.0 forwarding-class assured-forwarding - Configure LLDP-MED protocol support:
[edit protocols]
user@switch# set lldp-med interface ge-0/0/2.0 - Set the authentication profile (see Configuring 802.1X Interface Settings (CLI Procedure) and Configuring 802.1X RADIUS Accounting (CLI Procedure)):
[edit protocols]
set dot1x authenticator authentication-profile-name auth-profile - Add the MAC address of the phone to the static MAC bypass
list:
[edit protocols]
set dot1x authenticator static 00:04:f2:11:aa:a7 - Set the supplicant mode to multiple:
[edit protocols]
set dot1x authenticator interface ge-0/0/2.0 supplicant multiple

Verification
To confirm that the configuration is working properly, perform these tasks:
- Verifying LLDP-MED Configuration
- Verifying Authentication for the Desktop PC
- Verifying the VLAN Association with the Interface
Verifying LLDP-MED Configuration
Purpose
Verify that LLDP-MED is enabled on the interface.

Meaning
The field Role shows that the ge-0/0/2.0 interface is in the authenticator state. The Supplicant field shows that the interface is configured in multiple supplicant mode, permitting multiple supplicants to be authenticated on this interface. The MAC addresses of the supplicants currently connected are displayed at the bottom of the output.
Verifying the VLAN Association with the Interface
Purpose
Display the interface state and VLAN membership.
Action
user@switch> show ethernet-switching interfaces
