ISE 2.7 Wired multi-host AccessPoint

Hey,

 

i've installed ISE 2.7 with Wireless & Wired NAC. 

 

Goal is to have a global Port Configuration which is the same on every device.

switchport access vlan 332
 switchport mode access
 authentication event server alive action reinitialize
 authentication host-mode multi-auth
 authentication order dot1x mab
 authentication priority dot1x mab
 authentication port-control auto
 authentication periodic
 authentication timer reauthenticate server
 authentication violation restrict
 mab
 dot1x timeout tx-period 5
 dot1x max-reauth-req 1
 dot1x pae authenticator
 spanning-tree portfast

The config works fine and we configured it on about 200 Switches. (yes, dot1x timers are little aggressive but it works! )

 

My customer uses AeroHive as AccessPoints. Also Client Authentication over these APs ("Flexconnect") works pefect. But the Port on which the AccessPoints are connectet have a "traditional" configuration (trunk, native vlan etc.)

Now my im trying to get the AccessPoints also authenticated. (Profiling AeroHive Device -> MAB Policy). I use the config above and working with templates. So when an AccessPoint connects it gets the following template as result:

template AP
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 299
spanning-tree portfast edge trunk

This also works fine. AP is reachable. 

BUT now im facing the Problem that the host-mode is "multi-auth", but here i would need "multi-host". 

Unfortunately "authentication host-mode" is not avaiable in templates. so i have to configure "multi-host" manually on the AP Ports which isnt the goal i want to achive what i mentioned earlier

 

And no, we cant change host-mode on every of these Ports and we wont change to IBNS2 (i think here it is possible right?)

 

Any thoughts? 

 

Thanks in advance!

This seems related to CSCvd93785 Cannot change host mode via interface template authorization

which appears resolved in newer or more recent IOS/IOS-XE trains.
