Hi,
For L3 OOB deployment , does any one know how the NAC agent/ActiveX/Java applet refresh the IP address for the client??
i know that In the Login Page configuration, two options need to be checked to use the ActiveX/Applet webclient to
refresh the client’s IP address:
- Use web client to detect client MAC address and Operating System
- Use web client to release and renew IP address when necessary (OOB) .
But what i need to know how the agent/ActiveX/Java applet refresh the IP address for the client???
are these programs ( agent/ActiveX/Java applet ) triggers the client machine to do that???
regards
MAM

MAM,
You're right. The applets do indeed trigger a dhcp refresh on the machines. This is to avoid bouncing the port which can be problematic when you have IP phones.
More info on this in the docs here: http://tinyurl.com/yhnskdf
