I have a challenge. Our pc's authenticate with 802.1x to a vlan. This works fine. However when I have to reinstall a pc, the pc must connect to the PXE server after the boot.


How can I let the pc authenticate to NAC and solve this issue ?

I noticed when I was testing that the Device family is Network Booloader and the device typ is PXE Client (ZEN).
Can we use those enty's?

If you have coordinated work, you can put in a MAC override for the PC you are working on to put it into a separate VLAN (like a PXE VLAN and not a normal user VLAN) while you reimage it. Just remember to remove the MAC override when you have completed.

You will probably have to configure an "unauthenticated" VLAN and put the DHCP/TFTP server and all other required hosts in it.

See for example: https://www.extremenetworks.guru/exos-802-1x/
