Security

For troubleshooting purposes, I'd like the name of the device (authenticator) that's sending the RADIUS request to be populated in the RADIUS Request details.  This will make it faster to identify the device, rather than having to translate the NAS IP to a name.  I'm able to use a name in the NAS ID field on mobility switches, but I can't on WLAN controllers since all of the local controllers would use the same NAS ID specified under the RADIUS Server(s).  I don't see the ability to specificy a unique NAS ID on each controller, like you can a NAS IP.  Is there anyway to specify the NAS ID per controller?

As an alternative, in CPPM I can create a new device attribute called "name" and populate it, which would show up in the Computed Attributes of RADIUS requests.  This would solve my problem, but would be great if I could just set up a unique identifer on each controller.

We have a location attribute configured per device which shows up.   Our location = each campus.

Do you need it as part of the RADIUS request, or is visibility in Access Tracker acceptable?   6.5 now includes the name of the NAD and Vendor type on the summary page of Access Tracker:

Would be great to see the name of the device on the summary page.  Is the hostname of that device in your example called "Aruba"?

It does show whatever the description you type when adding the network device

My Network Device is named 7010 and the Vendor is Aruba; so it shows as 7010 / Aruba.
