Over the past few months I have been recording videos for internal training. I have decided I would rather make them publicly available as hopefully they will benefit the greater networking community as well. They are rough around the edges. I did not spare any time trying to clean them up unless I completely messed up during recording. Keep that in mind and I hope you enjoy! I will be posting links to the videos as I upload. If you have any questions or have noticed I messed something up please comment in my posts! Thanks for reading!

Hey Alex, thanks for making these videos available! I have a question that I’m having a hard time finding an answer to.
I have found an issue with MX devices (I assume it spans across all of them, but MX64W to be exact) where they don’t send the RADIUS attribute of ‘Service-Type’ even when configured for Dot1X. As you would expect, the Access-Request packets don’t hit on the ISE Wireless 802.1X authentication policy, so my users are failing authentication. Meraki support claims that this is not a bug because the Service-Type attribute is not required per RFC 2865 (which I did unfortunately verify). They have adding the attribute as a feature request in the pipeline, but who knows how long that will take.
I have a secondary policy in place as a band-aid to authenticate my Meraki wireless users, but I’m not confident it’s the best course. What would you do in this situation?
I can understand the frustration. One thing to remember is ISE is designed around the WLC, so if a certain field isn’t present in a radius request we just have to do as you did and create a ruleset that doesn’t include the Service-Type=Framed as a match/qualifier. It is unfortunately a feature request, which I have bugged a number of folks about, so we will see what happens in the future. That being said, I recommend having a Policy set just for the MXs as to separate the authentication/authorization rule sets and make your life easier.
Are you deploying MR and MX? or just MX?
Thanks for responding so quickly Alex. At this point we only have MX’s deployed. After I posted this, I was sent an integration document from Cisco with basically the same solution.
ah perfect. Good luck!
Alex, Awesome content! Don’t tease us with your wired config any longer. When will you finish that portion?
