Dot1x-Posturing with External RJ45 Connectors

[Rajinder Parshad]

Dear All,

We have deployed ISE 3.0 and using posturing and profiling. Currently, we are facing an issue where the customer is using external connector in Lenovo laptops as those laptops don't have RJ45 connectors.

Issue is, when switchport is connected to the external belkin device, it is hitting Wired MAB policy.

How we can allow laptop for posturing in this case ?

In looking for the solution, I came across these articles:

It seems that in using USB NICs, you may want to deploy AnyConnect with the NAM Module to use the UDID of the laptop.
