What does NAC State do?

[Philip Vilhelmsson]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out what the NAC State option under Advanced tab in a WLAN does if I sett it to ISE.

What extra information is sent to the ISE?

I have a usecase to do both dot1x and MAB on the same SSID. To be able to do that I have to set NAC state to None, at the moment it is set to ISE NAC. I do have a ISE-server for authentication.

What I want to know is what I loose if I change it from ISE NAC to None.

Regards

Philip

As far as I know, dot1x with username/password or certificate and also MAB on the same SSID is not possible.

No idea what that option does though.

Hi Philip,

WLC will not support both MAB and 802.1x on a same SSID.
