It is expected that the DHCP process or other network activity by the phone (e.g. LLDP) will trigger the Ethernet switch to generate the initial EAP-Request/Identity EAPOL frame 1 to the phone, but to be sure the phone will send an EAP-Start frame to initiate authentication.

No, these are both standard protocols and any vendor’s Ethernet switch that complies with the standard is expected to be compatible with the ShoreTel implementation.

This protocol is typically used to restrict access to a network i.e. all devices seeking network access must authenticate themselves with an 802.1x compliant Ethernet switch before they will be allowed on the network. In the case of IP Phones, this authentication will precede the phone initiating a DHCP transaction.
