Cloud Managed Networks

Cloud Auth is part of Aruba Central which provides simple but powerful NAC and authentication solution. It provides 802.1x EAP-TLS authentication based on its integration with cloud identity store such as Google Workspace or Entra ID and assign the users the right level of network access. Additionally, Cloud Auth supports MAC authentication for both wired and wireless access. 

In this tutorial we'll be configuring it for MAC authentication for AP's downlink wired ports. Once profiled and authenticated, they will be assigned their appropriate access and VLAN policies. This enables secure connectivity without hassle of static configuration particularly for scenarios that you need to connect speaker and cameras to these ports.

Hope you'll find this short technote useful and as always please send through your feedback for improvement.
