You didnt match radius request. NAD-IP-ADDRESS nedd to be address or group. Add PLI-LVL23 ip address into ap group in clearpass and use belongs-to-group condition.

So modify your service Trigger parameters to Match precisely the name (keep in mind it is Case Sensitive).
Then the service should be triggered correctly.

I'm using Aruba Central as a controller.
I've checked the place where the SSID profile was created, there is no such option for frame.

Check the RADIUS configuration on controller. Do you send service type of FRAMED-USER instead of LOGIN-USER? If so, then you need to change service definition to use FRAMED-USER (2) instead of LOGIN-USER(1) or reconfigure RADIUS server on controller.

Best, Gorazd

Urmm...that interesting, I don't have any PLI-LVL23 in the Device Group.
However, I check access tracker, on my working EAP-TLS connection, the Radius Request come from the same PLI-LVL23.

Also, after you solve service Triggering, this can be an issue.
Your static host list has MAC Address in the format of XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
If you make Rule Mapping and Enforcement policies based on the User-names, the username you are receiving is in format xxxxxxxxxxxx based on your Access Tracker input

Yes, we want to setup for TV display, Camera & Printer via WIFI.
So technically it can be done, not only via LAN (network cable)
I did configure the MAC_AUTH services but this error hit me and REJECT.
Alerts for this Request :
RADIUS Cannot select appropriate authentication method

If you mean, using MAC Authentication for Wireless Infrastructure, you need to setup your SSID to do MAC-Auth and then configure the service on Clearpass to perform MAC-AUTH (for Authentication under Authentication Methods, use Allow All MAC AUTH option).
However, with the current Random MAC on most mobile devices, are you sure you want to use MAB for WIFI connectivity?

Can MAB in Clearpass can be done if the endpoint using WIFI connectivity?
I don't see any document from Aruba for this.
I have tried configured new services that use MAC_AUTH but it won't work as expected.
