Technical Tip: How to send Disconnect Message to Juniper EX2300 Switch

Description

This article describes the configuration steps required to send the Disconnect Message (DM) to the clients connected to the Juniper EX2300 Switch.

Scope

FortiNAC-F v7.6.5.

Solution

FortiNAC is unable to send a Disconnect Message to the Juniper EX2300 switch when RFC5176 mode is set to 'System Defined'. To solve this, RFC5176 Mode should be set to 'Custom' with the following configuration.

Method:

• Navigate to the model configuration of the switch under Network -> Inventory.

• Set RFC5176 mode to 'Custom' and RFC5176 port to 3799.

• Select 'Disconnect Message' in the RFC5176 Message Type dropdown.

• Create a new attribute group and include the 'Calling-Station-Id' attribute with '%AUTH%' in the Response values.

• Save the configuration and verify if FortiNAC is sending the Disconnect Message using tcpdump.

execute tcpdump -i port1 port 3799 and host <Switch IP>
