derivation-rules as alternative to blacklist

    Hi,

     

    we have a setup with multiple ssid's on the same controller.

    One of the ssid's (simple wpa2 authentication) has devices which do not belong there (the wpa2 key has been 'communicated').

     

    Blacklisting a mac completely blocks access to every ssid.  I basically want to prevent those devices from accessing that specific ssid (let's call it my-mgmt for now)

     

    I believe this can be done by using a derivation-rule.  So by tying an aaa profile containing something like :

     

     

    aaa profile "my-mgmt-aaa_prof"
    user-derivation-rules "my-mgmt-rule"
    authentication-dot1x "dot1x_prof-cno90"
    enforce-dhcp

     

    and :

     

    aaa derivation-rules user "my-mgmt-rule"
    set role condition macaddr does-not-equal 8c:70:5a:10:89:24 set-value "authenticated"
    set role condition macaddr does-not-equal 64:20:0c:78:de:86 set-value "authenticated"

     

    So i basically allow every device to authenticate, except those specific mac's.

     

    Does this makes sense?

    It definitely works, but adding, deleting and searching for mac addresses, or even remembering why they are there can become a problem at scale...

    It's only a short-time solution for a limited amount of devices (around 50).
