Unfortunately the C2 switch is, in essence, a single user auth switch.

The way to get a phone + PC working is to do a VLAN to role mapping for the 
phone.  I banged my head on this one a few weeks back.  When you move to the 
C3, the problem goes away because the C3 will indeed do multi-user auth.  The 
VLAN-to-role mapping is considered an admin rule which takes precedence over 
the dot1x on the port allowing the PC to correctly authenticate.  You need to 
setup the VLAN to role mapping to match the tagged VLAN the phone is using 
(and, yes you must do a tagged vlan from the phone for this to work).  The 
other hassle is that there is no way to prove the phone has a role mapped with 
the C2's CLI or via the GUI.  You just need to trust it.  Once the user 
authenticates, you can verify it through the GUI and the CLI.

Subject: Odp.: [enterasys] C2 problem with Authentication type 802.1x + MAC

Hi,

Do you have reauth period configured, what is your multiauth configuration? We 
have similar issue with C3 switches, sometimes reboot of voip phone to which 
the pc is connected helps with this issue.

Subject: [enterasys] C2 problem with Authentication type 802.1x + MAC

We have a solution with secure stack C2 and NetSight Suite. We have configured 
the switch with authentication 802.1x + Phone:

The first type of authentication is an 802.1x for the domain users, with active 
directory and IAS windows 2003.
The second type is a mac authentication for Telephones.


For the first time it works as expected, the problem occurs when we restarted 
the PC, when restarted we never see the authentication messages on the event 
viewer. But when we disconnect the Ethernet cable of the computer and then 
reconnect it again it authenticate successfully.

I don’t know why when you restart the PC it never authenticates correctly.

Version tested:
PC with Windows XP and Windows 7
Secure Stack C2 = 05.02.15.0002
NetSight Suite = 4.2.1.39

***I also tested this in a C3 and the computer successfully authenticate after 
2 mins of logon.

Help will be really appreciated!! 
Thank You!
