Hi,
Currently testing Clearpass and so far seem to have everything setup with the laptops and computer certs for AD joined devices and user certs for our test Azure AD only devices, so far so good.
We have Shortel Phones that the users plug their laptops in. We also use Dell N Series switches with a voice and data vlan.
I've set the Phones to use a wired MAC Auth Bypass. However, the phones seemingly only try and authenticate with Clearpass after they have finished their boot sequence.
The phones will try to access Data VLAN for DHCP to get the options to use the Voice VLAN, but fail and get a DHCP time out. The phones will then finish the boot process, have no IP address and stay at requesting service. Then they will register against Clearpass and get authenticated and then be assigned to the Voice Vlan.
I'm just unsure of how I get the phones to be authenticated before they try DHCP? I'm sure it's something with the switch but if anyone has any suggetions it would be great.
