Security

Hi!

We are using clearpass and we have lot of old Aruba OS switches in use. 

HP 2610, HP 2510 etc. 

There is no dyn-authorization config option available. So bounce-port doesn't work. 

Are these models supported and used 802.1x authentication with clearpass?`

I attached file where you can see our basic configuration. At this point we are thinging that we have to use hp 2530 and newer models to get authentication works perfectly wiith clearpass.

Older hardware with older software will have varying levels of support for 802.1X, as you've noticed.  They are "supported" inasmuch as ClearPass will support 802.1X in general.

I'm not sure on the availability of CoA on those switched but you 100% should be looking at replacing those with a modern AOS-CX switch instead.  Deploying 802.1X/MAB/NAC is a journey and should be coupled with hardware replacements.  This is true for NAD configuration standardization, capabilities, overall security posture, etc.
