802.1X in NAC OOB

[ZINSOU ADAM JOCELYN ADISSO]

We are installing a NAC Solution version 4.9, and we want to know which protocol between 802.1X and SNMP is recommended for  discovery?

We have multiple vlans for users and only one authentication vlan.

Thanks in advance,

Jocelyn

Hi,

In a wired environment, dot1x and snmp will not work well together. So you will set the port the way it is and let the CAM use SNMP on moving users to their role based vlans.

It is ok if you have multiple vlans and one authentication vlan, when you configure the user roles on the manager you can set the vlan attribute there.

Please explain what you are referring to as discovery? Are you referring to snmp traps being sent for new mac addresses?

For wireless and if you want to enable SSO, then you will have to use radius and snmp both.
