Configure NAC with fortigate wifi ssid MAC auth

AngeloP — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 16:23:00 GMT

Hello everybody,

I'm having trouble configuring the extreme NAC, our goal would be to authenticate via mac address only the authorized users (via MAC) who try to connect on the wifi SSIDs that the fortigate displays, is there any guide or advice about that can be useful to me?

Thanks in advance,

Angelo.

Hello,

From a high level perspective you need to add the Fortinet device into the NAC switches tab, then build a rule/role to send back the correct filter-id if you're doing role based authorization.

As long as the device is in the NAC switches tab and MAC authentication is used NAC will send back an Accept.

Thanks
