◦ Disabled: If the switch does not support multiple 802.1X-compliant devices on the same port, you
should disable the PC Port when 802.1X authentication is enabled. If you do not disable this port
and subsequently attempt to attach a PC to it, the switch denies network access to both the phone
and the PC.
◦ Enabled: If you are using a switch that supports multidomain authentication, you can continue to
use the voice VLAN.
◦ Disabled: If the switch does not support multidomain authentication, disable the Voice VLAN and
consider assigning the port to the native VLAN.
