Security

Hi,

I'm considering moving my ClearPass servers to cloud. Besides the obvious advantage of publicly accessible Radius and Onboard services for headquarter and branch offices, I still have some concerns about this though:

1) What are the disadvantages compared to the traditional / private deployment? Some of the features that I think might not work correctly are Radius CoA and DHCP fingerprinting. Not sure if I'm missing something else.

2) What is the recommended way to connect between ClearPass and mobility controller (for 802.1X service), and between ClearPass cluster nodes? Should I set up a VPN connection, or just go straight through public Internet?

Please share your thoughts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Can anybody share your thoughts / experiences on this?

Hi Zaffiro,

You might want to have a look to this doc:

It should answer most of your questions.
