NDFC - Switch not accessible

Wrecktangle — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:18:27 GMT

Nexus Dashboard v3.2.1i
Fabric Controller v12.2.2.241

Under the default admin login, I'm able to access Fabric Controller --> Manage --> Zoning and perform zoning without issue. When logged in via TACACS (ISE) with a network-admin role assigned, I get "Switch not accessible" and I'm not able to even view the zoning, let alone perform any zoning. Any idea as to what could cause this?

I have the following assigned in my TACACS/ISE configuration:

MDS Error:

is this working before upgrade to 3.2.1 or its installed 3.2.1 ?

is the devices also configured TACACS ?

are you able to SSH to device using AAA ?

Fresh install of 3.2.1 (ova build actually) along with fresh NDFC install. Yes, the devices are configured for TACACS and SSH using TACACS/AAA works.

What's puzzling is that the default ND admin ID works. My ID is only limited--rather I only receive the above error--in the zoning portion. My ID can access everything else.

What logs do you see on the ISE side when you access that information?
