    Dear All,

    I would like to know about the use case and best practice for MAC authentication source using endpoint repository and guest device repository.
    Currently we are use both repository for MAC authentication source. But I only want to use one of the repository.

    Use the Guest Device repository if you want operators/end-users to manage devices/MAC addresses.
    Use the Endpoint repository if the ClearPass admins manage everything and/or if you want to use profiling or attributed in the Endpoint repository.

    Automation/API access should be possible to either repository.
