ISE - basic profiling / 802.1X with Avaya 4850 / 4950 switches ?

[Cristian Venegas]

Folks,

Got a customer inquiring about ISE basic profiling and 802.1x using Avaya 4850 / 4950 switches. If posture is feasible, that'd be even better.  Im aware they're not explicitly listed on the 2.4 interoperability matrix.  Any experiencies or suggestions are more than welcome.

Thank you!

Regards,

Profiling is for identifying endpoints. Avaya may not support device sensors etc. But you could still use RADIUS, DHCP, SNMP, HTTP redirect/SPAN etc. Please check out the ISE profiling desing guide to understand what type of endpoints and what we need to gather from the endpoints.

I have covered the profiling in detail in my Cisco Live presentation below.
