Using Clearpass to disable unused ports

    Is there a way to use Clearpass to block unused ports in wired switches? I could find how, not in documentation neither by playing around in Policy Manager. 

    I guess the more generic question can be: is there a way to do event driven enforcement, when the event is not OnConnect or WebAuth. There is a new Event driven capability in 6.6 but it is only for ingress evnets from a Firewall

    Not really understanding your question. When fully configured, every device connected to a port would go through an authentication process.

    It is a requirement from the customers. If a port was not used for over x amount of days, it should be disabled (shut down). I agree that if the port is protected with .1x or MAC auth. there is not much need to disable it, but this requirement from the customer still exists.

    No, this is a function of an NMS.
