For Cisco 8800 MPP phones using 802.1X, the PC port and voice VLAN can stay in use only if the switch supports multidomain authentication; otherwise Cisco says to disable the PC port and the voice VLAN.

Checked 2026-09-24

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.
