Hi,
I have network running on fw 10.13.1030 with fully functional FreeRadius setup and mac authentication enabled in switch ports with following configuration:
interface 1/1/4
no shutdown
flow-control rxtx
vlan access 1
aaa authentication port-access client-limit 8
aaa authentication port-access mac-auth
enable
At this moment in this port there is 100mbps video controller with static ip connected at the moment and last log entry for the port says:
2024-08-25T14:01:29.896816+03:00 ..... hpe-mstpd[2642]: Event|2012|LOG_INFO|AMM|1/1|CIST - Topology Change generated on port 1/1/4 going in to forwarding...
But mac-address table for the port is empty?!? How is that possible? Does port-access drop mac off in some situations? Another thing is that I cannot see mac-address in log entries either.
I have about 1500 devices in this network and from that count about 99% works just fine with port-access configuration above but there seems to be few device models wich refuses to pass mac-address to switch if device has static ip address (I'm not absolutely sure if dhcp/static ip addressing has nothing to do with this problem) Rest of the devices does not have any problems what so ever.
Is there something missing from my configuration?
