FortiNac and Enterasys B5 Switch configuration

Hello everyone;
There is an Enterasys B5G 48P switch in our institution. We ordered FortiNAC. Has anyone configured it with B5 before without any problems? I couldn't find a detailed solution in the documentation.

SNMP and CLI are mandatory in order to establish visibility.

 

  1. Use SNMPv2c for ease of configuration
  2. For CLI Use SSH version 2
  3. Use MAC notification traps.


You can check below external article for configuring MAC trap example in Enterasys:

https://www.packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_Guide.html#_enterasys

 

 

For proper implementation go through this article starting from the "Establish Visibility" section:

Hello,

Our NAC configuration for Enterasys B5G 48P switches is ongoing. We initially wrote a draft like this – it worked at first but then stopped functioning. Could you please send me an example configuration template?

Here is the draft I wrote: 

set snmp user <SNMP_USERNAME> authentication md5 <AUTH_PASSWORD> encryption des privacy <PRIV_PASSWORD>
set snmp group <SNMP_GROUPNAME> user <SNMP_USERNAME> security-model usm
set snmp access <SNMP_GROUPNAME> security-model usm privacy read All write All notify All

Thank you in advance.
