Configure Cisco ISE Closed-mode on Huawei switch

Dear Cisco ISE lover,

I would like to seek your sharing experience on Cisco ISE for Closed-mode.
While we have another switch (Huawei) does it support for this closed-mode?

Thank you,

I don't know the Huawei switches, but closed-mode is the default operation of 802.1X. If the switch supports 802.1X, closed-mode will be available. The question would be if there are the other Cisco IBNS modes like monitor or low-impact available.

ISE don't care about modes of SW

What important to ISE is it will push dACL or VLAN ?

dACL for low cost mode or monitor mode of SW

VLAN for close mode

While we used dACL for closed mode on Cisco Switch.

So, what about Huawei switch does it support closed mode or profiling?

I would seek for real user experience on top of document.
