Hi,
We are deploying SDA for a building. We have a card reader controller which is a silent host. When connnected to the switch, it will not send out any traffic. It will only send reply traffic when the facial recognition device start sending traffic to it.
Our original intention is to configure MAB using ISE. With the card reader controller being a silent host, the work around we use is
- configure static port vlan instead of using MAB.
Is there other workaround or solutions ? We asked the card reader controller vendor to see if they can configure NTP at their end so as to send out traffic. Unfortunately, they can't.
Enable Layer 2 flood or IP directed broadcast in DNAC also doesn't help in this case because the card reader controller is not going to receive that broadcast because it is in the default vlan 1.
Thanks
Eng Wee
