Cisco ISE in Azure and 802.1x Testing on Endpoints in Azure

[latenaite2011]

Does anyone know if it is possible to test 802.1x Endpoint supplicants in Azure natively or is there a way to test 802.1x in Azure (ie., if a Virtual Machine is created with 802.1x enabled on the network adapter, can this be tested/supported?

Trying to be a POC lab in Azure (with all devices in Azure) as there is no VPC to any on-premise devices (no on-premise presence at all). Just wondering how this can be done with everything in Azure.

Found this article but it seems to point to Azure with a VPC built to the on-premise network where the Endpoints reside:

thanks in advance!

@latenaite2011  No, I do not think it possible to use the traditional clients, as the cloud networking is not allowing layer 2 features.

You might be able to do it with Linux WPA/WPA2/IEEE 802.1X Supplicant, similar to how Thomas did his demo on macOS using EAPTest in ISE Webinars, such as  Automated ISE Provisioning and Patching (in AWS using Ansible) > 45:24 Demo: Test RADIUS Authentication & Authorization
