Hi,
yes but this does not answer the question of disabling 802.1x, Because 802.1x is enabled on the phones by default but no user name is set, they will hang trying to authenticate on 802.1x and never fail-over to MAB. The only way you can do a MAB is to change the priority of authentication on the switch from 802.1x first followed by MAB to try MAB first. This causes another host of issues as device you want to do 802.1x will authenticate with MAB.
you can also try LLDP/CDP to bypass authentication for the voice vlan, but again once you actually try this you start causing issues for other devices that might want to use LLDP/CDP
Both possible but both feel like a bit of a "hack" to get it working.
