802.1X Monitor Mode Still Enforcing

jasond

Working on rolling out 802.1x and want to initially configure monitor mode to troubleshoot before changing to low impact or closed mode.  Before adding the interface configuration my test interface allowed connectivity. Now that monitor mode configuration was added, the workstation cannot get connected. I was expecting them to be able to get connected even if the ISE logs showed that it failed. Is that not the expected behavior of monitor mode?  Below is the interface config:

 

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/40

 description ISE-TestPort-MonitorMode

 switchport access vlan 13

 switchport mode access

 switchport voice vlan 166

 ip device tracking maximum 65535

 srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5

 priority-queue out

 mls qos trust dscp

 dot1x timeout tx-period 7

 dot1x max-reauth-req 3

 auto qos trust dscp

 source template Port-Dot1x-Default

 spanning-tree portfast edge

end

 

Derived configuration : 675 bytes

end

The switchport configuration is not enough information to provide any meaningful assistance. Depending on your switch version, 'open auth' could be the default. We would need more information on your versions, policy map configuration, live logs, switchport session status details, etc.

Please see How to Ask the Community for Help.

I would suggest checking your configuration and policies against the ISE Secure Wired Access Prescriptive Deployment Guide
