Hello Sebastian, right in this period I'm trying to integrate the Enterasys B5 switches in my configuration to try to implement the NAC in some of our sites where these devices are present.
In the manuals and forums of the binomial enterasys-b5 and packetfence there is very little or I was not able to find the right sources In my case these are switches at least 10 years old, I think of the period in which Enterasys was acquired by Extreme Networks The firmware, version 06.81.10.0001, has in fact an old-style command structure, with commands like "set port ...". In the "network device configuration guide" I read that on the old Enterasys switches you can only implement: - linkUp / linkDown - MAC Locking (Port Security with static MACs) while on the new switches Extreme network could also be implemented - Netlogin - MAC Authentication - Netlogin - 802.1X My goal is to try to implement also on these old switches Enterasys the functions of: - Netlogin - MAC Authentication - Netlogin - 802.1X The configuration I am currently testing uses a hybrid mode between Enterasys approach, essentially based on the use of SNMP, and Extreme Network approach, based on RADIUS. In the switch configuration I used: - Type: ExtremeNet Summit series - Deauthentication Method: SNMP In practice I use the RADIUS service for authentication and accounting(switch -->> packetfence), while for Deauthentication and the CoA (Change of Authorization) I use SNMP (packetfence -->> switch) The first tests are positive: even on these old devices I can implement "MAC Authentication" and "802.1X" next goals: - stress the system to understand any limits - enter VoIP phones I hope you can see some light outside the tunnel now ;-) ciao Giacinto */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ */ Giacinto Caretto */ */ DTE-ICT-RETE */ */ [email protected] */ */ ENEATEL 91 206 */ */ Uff. 0831201 206-234 */ */ FAX. 0831201 207 */ */ ENEA - CR Brindisi */ */ ITALY */ */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ _______________________________________________ PacketFence-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users
