Do VIA client sessions, authenticated using ClearPass, consume CPPM licences?
I can see that there is no client MAC address associated with VIA client authentications, presumably because the client is hidden behind the NAS (the Aruba controller); it's a layer-3 authentication. Does this mean you could authenticate 1000s of VIA users, without using up any CPPM base licences?
If this is the case, presumably the first limit that would be reached in the system - assuming you have a fat Internet pipe and a 'big' 7200-series controller - would be the ability of your ClearPass server to process all the simultaneous connection requests at the busiest time of the day..? Are there any guidelines anywhere on how many authentications per second the ClearPass hardware appliances can handle?
