NAC Feature "RADIUS Clients to Monitor NAC"

[M_Nees]

During playing around (for another huge installation) in my lab NAC, i stumble over the above feature!

RADIUS Clients to Monitor NAC ??

Are there any use cases or configuration examples? Current Online Help, NAC Manuals are not helpful.

What is the difference between using "RADIUS Clients to Monitor NAC" or to configure a out-of-band system (like nagios) in standard "switch section" as regular RADIUS client to test RADIUS requests?

replys are welcome.

Hy, 
I know this is a very old thread, but it fits best to my question.

Does anyone know where to update the “Radius Monitor Clients” from new Oneview GUI?

Could not find it, and had to open the java gui.

I'd like to use this feature to monitor our NACs. What kind of scripts are you using? Are you utilizing your checks with Nagios/Icinga?

Peter

I though a little deeper to use this feature on some customer installations ...

i will try to use not just a password for authentication but rather a user account which resides in the backend Active Directory, so with this i can check the whole Authentication process within NAC backend connectivity.
(i hope this will work)

Matthias

Hi James,

this makes sense and explained why the netsight programmer adding this GUI option.

This feature was added in Netsight 6.2:
Ability to configure RADIUS monitoring tools to monitor NAC appliance performance and availability.
