Add IP Range devices to Access Control

[EF]

Hi Team,

when you add a device  to Access control it must exist in Network tab or be created at this moment, and it´s ok for a few devices, but this is a problem when you got a lot of devices and more big problem if they got IP by DHCP, for example XIQ APs.

Is there any way to create an "IP Range" or use regular expressions to create Access Control clients?

If not, I cant understand why is not implemented yet.

Cheers!!

The XIQ AP import workflow @ https://github.com/extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting/tree/master/XMC_XIQ-SE/oneview_workflows and directly @ https://github.com/extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting/blob/master/XMC_XIQ-SE/oneview_workflows/xwf/XIQ...

Hi,

You can schedule the workflow to be executed hourly. You can have multiple scheduled entries, so if you schedule the sync job 12 times, it can run every 5 minutes.

A better approach is to set a longer DHCP lease time so that APs do not change their IP addresses on every reboot. AFAIK, this is quite a common approach.

The Access Control Engine reads a lot of metadata from the radius client to provide necessary details in your end system table.

Sincerely yours

Hi EF.

ExtremeControl knows how to talk to the device based on SNMP information. that is the reason for the need to add devices to the network tab.
For XIQ APs you can use the workflow that synchronizes the APs from XIQ to the Site Engine/Control.

Hope it helps
