Clearpass VLAN assignment on Aruba Switch

  • 1.  Clearpass VLAN assignment on Aruba Switch

    Hi!

     

    I'm using a Aruba 2930F switch to setup Wired policies with Clearpass. I just want to assign VLAN's for now based on TIPS roles, and followed the Wired Policy Enforcement guide for this. Is it necessary to work with the downloadable user roles for this? Because I do have some issues, Clearpass perfectly authorizes 802.1X requests and enforces policy, but no VLAN is assigned to the client. More, I don't get an IP address. I configured onto this port my management VLAN as untagged, and my uplink as tagged. Followed also the necessary commands for aaa authentication which seems to work as Clearpass detects it. But really don't know exactly what the exact configuration must be for ports vlan's or what i'm missing because it's nowhere clearly explained.

    Anyone who has some advice on this?

    Thanks!

    Try returning these values from ClearPass:

     

    Radius:IETF	Tunnel-Type	=	VLAN (13)
    Radius:IETF	Tunnel-Medium-Type	=	IEEE-802 (6)
    Radius:IETF	Tunnel-Private-Group-Id	=	vlanname

    You can either use name or VLAN ID in that same return value

    Thanks for your reply! That stays the same with these settings (screenshot_2), my wired device is connected to port 2 on the switch, maybe it helps with my configuration? It's test environment, so no confidential things are in it :)..

     

    Clearpass is in the management VLAN, connected to port 7.

    Thanks!

    Did you try with both vlan name and ID? I think I had the same setup and it worked OK for me. What does access tracker look like, does it return those values?

    Check the output tab in Access Tracker.

     

    See attachment the enforcement profile to enforce an untagged vlan to an aruba switch. Use the VLAN ID instead of the vlan name.

     

    In the switch CLI you can give this commando to check if the vlan is enforced, for example:

    aaa port-access authenticator ###interface detailed

    Before, it showed up as ACCEPT in access tracker with the correct policy enforced. But now it doesn't show up anymore when I try to connect. Very strange.

    Probably a few yesrs to late ...

    your config says to use downloadable user roles ... not.  radius attributes in the acces accept packet. 2930s dont like. mixing  radius attributes/ DURs

    spent ages trying to debug a fault and the reason was I was trying to do both

    wanted to use  vlan enforecement as well

    Radius:IETF	Tunnel-Type	=	VLAN (13)
    Radius:IETF	Tunnel-Medium-Type	=	IEEE-802 (6)
    Radius:IETF	Tunnel-Private-Group-Id	=	vlanname

     is there a way to specific that this 'vlanname' is a tagged vlan ? 

    similar thing for VLAN ID, is there a way to specify that vlan ID is tagged
