Security

I’ve got a guest SSID setup on a controller redirecting to a webpage on Clearpass. I have Mac Caching enabled, well at least I thought I did. The Mac are not registering/populating the database so something must be a miss. Any advice on where to look or clear cut instructions for setting that up?

What I suggest you do is create your Mac Caching services using the ClearPass templates "Guest Mac Authentication"

 

In the controller make sure you have the following :

- Cleapass as you mac authentication server source

- Add a Mac Auth L2 profile

- Enable Accounting in the aaa profile

- And ClearPass as your RFC 3576

 

victor, how do I do this with Instant APs? 

From the ClearPass side, there is no difference.

 

To configure MAC-authentication on Instant:

I would assume the MAC Cache service needs to be before the auth service or does it matter?

It just logically makes sense to have it before your web auth service since that's the order it's processed. 


Thanks,

Try a few things

Verify that MAC-Auth is triggered in the Access Tracker. Follow Victors instructions if they don't show there.

 

Enable Insight under Server Configuration

On you login-page select "Update Endpoint"

 

Verify again through access-tracker that mac-auth is triggered.
