    Has anyone managed to get CPPM Wired 802.1x Auth & VLAN assignment working with old 3Com branded 5500G-EI switches?

    We have a switch that's seemingly able to send 802.1x Auth requests to CPPM. CPPM is able to successfully authenticate the client against AD & it appears to send back an Accept; however, the switches doesn't seem to understand & is failing Auth.

    If anyone has managed to get this to work, if you wouldn't mind sharing your config notes, we would greatly appreciate the help.

    TIA,
