Example: Configuring VoIP on an EX Series Switch Without Including 802.1X Authentication

Note: This example uses Junos OS for EX Series switches with support for the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style. If your switch runs software that does not support ELS, see Example: Configuring VoIP on an EX Series Switch Without Including 802.1X Authentication. For ELS details, see Getting Started with Enhanced Layer 2 Software.

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 by using static MAC bypass of authentication:

Requirements

• One EX4300 switch.
• Junos OS Release 13.2 or later for EX Series switches
• An Avaya IP telephone

Before you configure VoIP, be sure you have:

• Installed your EX Series switch. See the installation information for your switch.
• Performed the initial switch configuration. See Connecting and Configuring an EX Series Switch (CLI 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 the 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 is not 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 EX4300 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

CLI Quick Configuration

To quickly configure VoIP without using 802.1X authentication, copy the following commands and paste them into the switch terminal window:

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. 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
2. Associate the VLAN data-vlan with the interface:
   [edit vlans]
user@switch# set data-vlan switch-options interface ge-0/0/2.0

3. Configure the interface as an access interface, configure support for Ethernet switching, and add the data-vlan VLAN:
   [edit interfaces]
user@switch# set ge-0/0/2 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode access
user@switch# set ge-0/0/2 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members data-vlan
4. Configure VoIP on the interface and specify the assured-forwarding forwarding class to provide the most dependable class of service:
   [edit switch-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

5. Configure LLDP-MED protocol support:
   [edit protocols]
user@switch# set lldp-med interface ge-0/0/2

6. 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
7. 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
8. Set the supplicant mode to multiple:
   [edit protocols]
set dot1x authenticator interface ge-0/0/2.0 supplicant multiple
