Auto-sense Global Configuration using EDM

Perform the procedures in this section to configure Auto-sense globally using EDM. You can perform many tasks on the same EDM tab. For a quick look at field descriptions for that tab, see Globals Field Descriptions.

Enable LLDP Authentication of IP Phones

Before you begin

You must enable EAPoL globally.

About this task

Perform this procedure to enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) authentication of IP phones. The switch authenticates the phone after it receives LLDP packets from the phone.

Auto-sense LLDP authentication applies to Auto-sense ports in the VOICE state. Auto-sense LLDP authentication does not require a global Auto-sense voice configuration.

The system removes the LLDP session for the following reasons:
  • You disable EAPoL globally.
  • You disable Auto-sense on the port.
  • The LLDP neighbor is removed.
If the LLDP authentication configuration exists and one of the following situations occur, the LLDP session is recreated:
  • You renable EAPoL globally.
  • You renable Auto-sense on the port.
  • The LLDP neighbor is recreated.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric.
  2. Select AutoSense.
  3. Select the Globals tab.
  4. Select EapolVoiceLldpAuthEnable, to enable the EAPoL LLDP authorization for voice Auto-sense ports.
  5. Select Apply.

Configure Auto-sense Voice Information for IP Phones

The switch applies the Auto-sense voice configuration on specific port(s), after it discovers IP phones on the port through LLDP packets.

Before you begin

If you boot the switch with a configuration file, and not through Zero Touch Fabric Configuration, you must manually enable Auto-sense on specific port(s).

Globals Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Globals tab.

Name Description

AccessDiffservEnable

Enables or disables the differentiated service type as access for Auto-sense ports. The default is enabled.

DataIsid

Specifies the data I-SID used by the Auto-sense ports.

EapolVoiceLldpAuthEnable

Enables the EAPoL LLDP authentication for Auto-sense voice ports. The default is disabled.

FaMsgAuthEnable

Enables or disables the FA message authentication for Auto-sense ports. The default is enabled.

FaAuthenticationKey

Specifies the FA authentication key for Auto-sense ports.

IsisHelloAuthType

Specifies the authentication type for IS-IS hello packets on Auto-sense ports:

  • None
  • simple - simple password authentication uses a text password in the transmitted packet. The receiving router uses an authentication key (password) to verify the packet.
  • hmac-md5 - MD5 authentication creates an encoded checksum in the transmitted packet. The receiving router uses an authentication key (password) to verify the MD5 checksum of the packet.
  • hmac-sha256 - with SHA-256 authentication, the switch adds an hmac-sha–256 digest to each Hello packet. The switch that receives the Hello packet computes the digest of the packet and compares it with the received digest.
Note: Secure Hashing Algorithm 256 bits (SHA-256) is a cipher and a cryptographic hash function of SHA2 authentication. You can use SHA-256 to authenticate IS-IS Hello messages. This authentication method uses the SHA-256 hash function and a secret key to establish a secure connection between switches that share the same key. This feature is in full compliance with RFC 5310.

The default authentication type is none.

IsisHelloAuthKeyId

Specifies the IS-IS hello authentication number key id for the Auto-sense ports.

IsisHelloAuthKey

Specifies the IS-IS hello authentication number key for the Auto-sense ports. You must configure the IS-IS hello authentication key along with the IS-IS hello authentication type.
