    I'm not aware of such a list, as it would be obsolete once it is published.

    A good start is the wired enforcement guide, with configuration guidelines for many of the big switch vendors (get it from www.arubanetworks.com/clearpassdocs). But I have seen many different brands and types of switches supported as well. ClearPass is all standards based, so if you have a switch that adheres to the industry standards, and you can configure them for RADIUS/802.1X/MAC-Authentication/TACACS+(Admin), you are probably good to go. But as the list would be too long, I have not seen such.

    Are there specific switches that you need to know the support for? People reading here may share their experience.

    Hi
    For Cisco, i'm using the series 2960X, 3850 and 9300 with Clearpass.
    Its up to you if want to integrate  EoL Cisco Hardware with Clearpass. In case of problems, Cisco TAC will not help.

    Best regards,
    Andy

    Hi Andreas,

    The HPE/Aruba 2920 is supported for standard RADIUS authentication.

    In fact all switches that support 802.1x and use the RADIUS:IETF basics are working with  ClearPass. Switches that are not have 802.1x support can optional work via SNMP ClearPass OnConnect, but i never used that functionality.
