UBT Clients cannot send traffic. Only get DHCP address

    Posted 15 days ago

    Not sure this is the right discussion but:

    I have a client with Central, 6300 CX switches, two 7210 gateways and Clearpass. They want to use UBT but the network is live and it will be a gradual migration. I have enabled UBT on the switches, configured the Clearpass authentication and the correct roles on the gateways. If I configure a port to use MAC or 802.1x authentication, the client successfully authenticates, the role is pushed to the switch and the secondary role applied. I see the client on the gateway in the correct role with an IP address obtained via DHCP. However, the client cannot send or receive any other traffic. No traffic appears blocked in the datapath table though. All roles allow all traffic

    Any ideas what I have wrong here? I do wonder if the issue is the same VLAN is configured locally on the switch but this is not stated as an issue in the documentation unless using ubt vlan-extend which I am not.

    The same issue happens for all ubt clients in any VLAN whether mac auth or 802.1x

    Thanks

    Stewart

    your ubt client VLAN ID should be unique and also be created on your gateway but not applied to any interferes

    what is your ubt zone configuration?

    Is the UBT  user-role on the gateway blocking anything?

    The UBT client VLAN is created on the gateway but was also on the switch. I removed the VLAN from the switch but then the client no longer appeared in the user table on the gateway. I know the VLAN does not need to be on the switch though. 

    The user role on the gateway allows any traffic. 

    I have logged with TAC now so hopefully they will find the issue

    UBT Client VLAN is somewhat ambiguous; check this video for the difference between local VLAN and VLAN Extend mode. Local VLAN (and use of the ubt-client-vlan command on the switch) is probably what you want.

    Yes I want the clients to be placed in a role on the gateway. They just need to be placed into the VLAN on the controller and the traffic tunnelled between switch and gateway. I don't think I have any need for tagged traffic so don't need vlan extend. the UBT config on the switch I have is:

    vlan 4091

    ubt-client-vlan 4091
    ubt zone default vrf default
        primary-controller ip 10.x.2.40
        backup-controller ip 10.x.2.48
        enable

    ip source-interface ubt interface vlan200

    ubt state shows both gateways connected

    Ok so I found the issue on this. For the local role I was pushing to the switch I thought the ACL allowed any traffic. It turned out that I had set it to allow any TCP traffic and not 'any' traffic. Changing this has fixed the issue.
