Hey guys, quick question about these SMB switches with 802.1X and IP phones (specifically polycom but not sure if that is important).
We're currently using mac based port security with a mac limit of 3 addresses which works fine with PCs and IP phones on the same switchport, but it sucks whenever the support team needs to move someone's PC to a new location. I'd like to implement 802.1X to solve this problem but I'm concerned I will have issues because all of our access switches are these Cisco SF300 SMB switches. As far as I know, they don't have the multi-auth configuration ability that standard catalyst switches have to allow you to use a PC and IP phone on the same switchport. So I'm wondering: 1) am I correct that this is a problem and 2) are there any workarounds I can do to get this to work other than purchase all new catalyst switches to replace the SMB switches (something I'm sure I won't be allowed to do)?
Thank you in advance if anyone has any suggestions!
