Fortigate NAC Policies with dummy switch behind Fortiswitch

Hi!

Trying to figure out if I can make my scenario work.

So I have a FG + Fortiswitch with NAC Mode on the switchports.
Have configured NAC policys that work and deploy devices on different VLANS.

What I've tried to do is to connect a dummy switch to one of the "NAC" Ports and connect devices to that.
Devices seem to get the right NAC policies but IP connectivity doesn't work. I wonder if I'm missing something to make it work? Or if it's just not supported.

Hi

If you mean by dummy switch a third party vendor switch, then the NAC policy can't work on that switch, even if you plug it to FortiSwitch, because the NAC policy opers on the switch-port, and in this case the third party switch cannot be managed by FortiGate.
