Network Login 802.1x with Mitel phone 6865i and X440 fails because of a link down

Environment : EXOS X440-48P version 15.6.3.1 patch 1-5, X150-24t version 12.6.5.2,
Mitel phones Mitel 6865i version 4.0.0.2031, FreeRADIUS, DHCP server
LLDP is not configured on the switches and the phones VLAN is dynamicaly created on the switches after the phones are authenticated

As you can see below,the proccess is succesfull with X150-24t
08:24:38.44 Network Login 802.1x user AuthUser logged in MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX port 15 VLAN(s) "V_VOICE", authentication Radius
08:24:37.83 port 15 link UP at speed 100 Mbps and full-duplex
08:24:36.18 Network Login user AuthUser cleared due to link down event, Mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX port 15 VLAN(s) "V_VOICE"
08:24:36.18 port 15 link down

08:23:08.62 port 15 link down
08:23:08.56 port 15 link UP at speed 100 Mbps and full-duplex


With X440-48P,the proccess failed after the link down


09:15:11.01 port 15 link UP at speed 1 Gbps and full-duplex
09:15:08.18 Network Login user AuthUser cleared due to link down event, Mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX port 15 VLAN(s) "V_VOICE"
09:15:08.17 port 15 link down
09:15:02.92 Network Login 802.1x user AuthUser logged in MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX port 15 VLAN(s) "V_VOICE", authentication Radius
09:14:36.76 port 15 link UP at speed 1 Gbps and full-duplex
09:14:36.45 port 15 is delivering power

Can you help in finding an issue for X440, many thanks.

I understand what you mean but the authentication has been already achieved. It should be a reauthentication proccess, isn'it?.
And how do you explain that the authentication proccess is ok with the X150-24t version 12.6.5.2?

In addition, when the IP phone port speed and duplex are configured manually, not auto, the authentication proccess is also ok.

Here the WireShark capture with X440

The phone will need to send a EAPoL start when using 802.1x. MAC authentication does not require a EAPoL

After the link comes up again, the phone never sends an EAPoL start to the switch. He goes to an endless DHCP discover. During the DHCP discover,if we manualy configure the VLAN V_VOICE on the port,the phone reauthenticates.

With a PC connected to the phone PC port, the authentication proccess is total success.

Does the link go down because the phone is rebooting to send tagged traffic in VLAN v-voice?

Also i would check the netlogin detail configuration to make sure they are configured the same. "show conf netlogin detail"

In addition,the VLAN V_VOICE is configured on the phone in a separate operation. The phone is connected to a switch that doesn't run 802.1X and obtains for the first time its config files from a FTP server after a DHCP proccess.
