    Hello all, I am a newbie in Aruba and seeking for help in this forum 

     

    First of all, I''ve got a pair of controller (master/local) with Symantec NAC Lan Forcer connection

     

    However, when I try to connect to the wireless network, a radius packet drop log message can see in controller's log.

     

    *Dropping the radius packet for Station 74:e5:0b:xx:xx:xx xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx doing 802.1x*

     

    Can anyone help me a bit on it?

     

    Thanks,

    Simon

    You need to enable debugging for that client:

     

    config t
    logging level debug user-debug <mac address of client>

     

     

    Then you need to type:

     

    show log user-debug all

     

     

     

    ..to see the detail.

    Thank you for your kind reply

     

    I found the log message as below:

    There is nothing in those logs out of the ordinary.  Did that specific client have a problem at that time?

    Yes, user cannot gain access to wireless network.

     

    Let me describe the connection flow:

     

    1. Client attempt to gain access through Aruba

    2. Aruba contact Symantec lan enforcer (SNAC), PEAP

    3. Client device with agent (assign VLAN A)

    4. Agentless (assign VLAN B)

    There are quite a few other things in play here.  I do not know specifically about the interaction with Symantec NAC enforcer.  I am sure there is much more to this.

     

    Maybe someone else on the list can help or you should open a support case.  Your first log looks like your client did not get an ip address.

    Thank you for your advise. By the way, base on result of " show aaa authentication-server radius statistics", is that mean the 1st and 2nd radius server are unreachable?

    It could mean that the servers were never used or never responded.
