Cisco Guest Server

[saxenanitesh8522]

Hi,

I am trying to implement Cisco Guest Server in my Network. I want to integrate it with NAC Manager. I have a NAC Server controlling the switches also.

I am not able to make a connection how to bridge these two togther in one solution.

Please help.

thanks,

Dear Nitesh,

What is the exact issue you have with integrating NGS with the NAC Manager?

The procedure to configure this is described on the NGS Config guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_nac_intg.html

You basically need to specify the NAC Manager details (address, credentials and default role) on the NGS, so that the Guest Server can add/remove the guest users from the NAC Manager DB.

You should also configure the NGS as a RADIUS accounting server on the NAC Manager, so you can collect info about the Guest user sessions on the NGS side.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Federico

Thanks federico,

i need to apply policies so can i have more than one guest user role in the nac manager?

so i have many contractor coming in who shouldnt have the same policies applied.

so i was thinking to make multiplie guest user roles and mapping it to NGS. will this work?

there is a different solution for this?

Hi Nitesh,

on top of the default role, you can map a NAC Role to your NGS Guest Roles, as described here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_guestpol.html#wp1063366

So you can create multiple roles on the NAC Manager, likewise on the NGS and map them on the NGS side.

I hope this clears this doubt.

Thanks,

Federico
