FortiNAC to send the Cisco radius Neat attribute

Hi Team, 

 

I am replacing Cisco ISE with FortiNAC. The Cisco ISE is currently configured to profile the Access Points and send a Cisco Neat attribute. This Neat attribute helps the Cisco switch assign a truck role to the port. 

 

In FortiNAC, Network Access > "Configuration" - It does not provide any option to send radius attribute only and VLAN ID is mandatory. 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/8021x/116681-config-neat-cise-00.html

 

cisco-avpair = device-traffic-class = Switch

 

I want to check if FortiNAC has a way to sort this situation. 

 

Regards,

The access value field is just a value that can be used if one of the attributes has the pointer %ACCESS_VALUE% configured. If the default is set to None and only this custom attribute is selected, that will be the only attribute that will end up in the Access-Accept:

You can run a packet capture from FNAC CLI to verify the RADIUS responses: 

tcpdump host x.x.x.x and port 1812 -nnv

or if in FNAC version 7.2/4:

execute tcpdump host x.x.x.x and port 1812 -vX

*replace x.x.x.x with the IP of the switch

Hi Ebilcari, 

 

Thank you for your response!

It is a little tricky to add the customized attributes. I think a knowledge document from your team will be great.

Thank you for your feedback. I can agree that this configuration is not that straight forward :). I was hoping that this article somehow covers also the custom attributes behavior, we can also create a dedicated article for it.

Hi Ebilcari, 

 

The document talks about "Tunnel-Private-Group-Id". However, the %Access_Value% is the reference value of the attribute and can be used for any attribute. It is not limited to the VLAN attribute.
