Infoblox IPAM Username Update

By ani posted Sep 24, 2014 02:20 PM

  

Infoblox IPAM reporting and visibility is greatly enhanced by having the username associated with a particular IP Address or Mac Address. ClearPass can update this information in Infoblox upon authentication of the user.

Anyone know if this POSTs to Infoblox on every (re)authentication, or just on new/changed data?  I'm thinking it could be very noisy if roams and reauths are all sent as updates to Infoblox.  This could easily be upwards of 100k updates per day in our environment.

This is cool!   How do you handle when a different username uses a device?
