NAC 4.8 adding cas to cam issue

James Smith

Hello all,

I've been thrown a half done NAC installation and this being my first nac deployment, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.

I've read the installation guide for the appliances back to front, but I am encountering an issue after adding a cas to the cam.

I am able to add the cas to the cam successfully, but almost immediately, the cas and cam can no longer ping each other from the cli.

the event logs states that the cas in connected to the cam, but then logs a error that the cam is unable to push the registration page to the cas. from this point I get several event log issues stating that the cas is out of sync

I've copied out a part of the nac_manager.log that show's the connection process:

I've followed all the installation guides recommendation of disconnecting the untrust interface on the CAS and there is no HA setup presently...

What I don't understand is the cas and cams inability to ping each other but they can ping other devices on the network. The cas and the cam are in different vlans.

Any assistant from a NAC guru would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi All,

Not that there was a ton of help, but I got it sorted myself. Turned out that I needed to tag the management vlan on the eth0 interface.

The cisco NAC appliance hardware document is pretty vague around this setting, but it turns out I had to tag the management vlan on that port to allow the CAS to connect to the CAM.

Now to try to workout why a simple layer 2 connection between the two eth2 interface on my CAS servers for the heartbeats isn't communicating....any ideas of this.....anyone?
