Tyson,
Hello! Thanks for the reply! I checked and I do have portfast on the
interface:
SEC-CAT4#sh run int g0/18
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 286 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/18
switchport access vlan 200
switchport mode access
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x port-control auto
dot1x violation-mode protect
dot1x timeout reauth-period server
dot1x reauthentication
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
end
I tried a static IP and everything works fine. I uninstalled and re-installed
the CTA client and went back to DHCP. I still see the problem. What version of
CTA client are you using?
Thanks!
Dave

My only thought is portfast. If the CTA agent isn't seeing the DHCP offer
in the expected time possibly a problem. But beyond that I am not sure as I
have not encountered this problem.
Uninstall/Reinstall of the CTA client? Look in CCO for possible known bugs?
All good questions. I am assuming you don't have problems with a static IP.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] 802.1x NAC CTA Problem
Hello All!
I am working on L2_802.1x NAC and have run into a strange
problem with the CTA client. I have set up a 3560 as the NAD and have a
CiscoSecure ACS server. On the client side, I have a Dell Windows XP
workstation with the Cisco Trust Agent wired client ver 4.0.5.5189. I
have followed the Cisco NAC configuration guide as an example and
everything seems to be working except that the CTA agent tries to get an
address via DHCP and fails. Funny thing is that the underlying OS does
get an DHCP lease and I have the packet captures confirming it.
Here is what I see:

Now the CTA client shows me a POP-Up window of "Healthy" and I do get a
DHCP lease, but the CTA does not see it and times out:

Has anyone seen this before and have any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
Everything looks good from the CAT and ACS point of view. I have check
the logs for the CTA agent and the only thing is the timing out of DHCP.
Thanks!
Dave
