The newest versions of code support 802.1x MDA we have deployed with pc's setting behind phones with no problems. Certs on the pc's and they come up and authenticate seperate from the phone. If you are running 4500's or 3560's you need 12.2(44)SG or higher. We have tested with both CDP and LLDP with cisco and non cisco phones.
Do a search on 802.1x MDA.

Subject: 802.1x authentication and IP-Phones

Hi All,
B
We are planning an enterprise implementation of 802.1x
authentication on our IP-Telephony network. Basically we run Cisco IP phones
on our network with desktops connected to the phones. We are concerned about
implementing 802.1x authentication on these switchports as the PCs are not
directly connected, I have heards about a solution of using CDP to bypass the
problem or using SNMP for out-of-bound authentication of the phones.
B
I was
wondring if anyone good point me to configuration examples or any Cisco docs
that show how to implement this.
B
Any help is much appreciated.
