Multplie Radsec sessions from controller

    Posted Dec 04, 2020 11:14 AM

    Hi.

    We have configured Radsec towards external Radius server (not Clearpass). Radius authentication and accounting works fine. But CoA fails a lot. We discovered that the controller all the time establish three identical Radsec sessions to the server. And only if server send CoA down the same session to WLC it accepts the CoA-Request. If going down any of the other WLC answers with CoA-NAK and "Session-Context-Not-Found". NAS IP in Radius server is correctly configured. Controller sw is 8.6.0.6. Any advice on this matter?

    Please reach out to Aruba support for this, as this is not a common scenario and may not have been tested (or supported).

    Also, this may be by design to only allow CoA over the RadSec connection that authenticated the client.

    Hi Herman. Thanks for response. 

    Weird thing here that the controller immediately establish three Radsec sessions to Radius. An Instant AP solution using same Radius do only establish one session.

    Conny,

    From the original message, I read that you have 3 different RADIUS servers and a connection to each of those was created. From this, it seems that 3 concurrent connections are set up to the same RADIUS server...

    Please work with Aruba Support. RadSec is a pretty new technology for most organizations, and to my knowledge not widely deployed.
