NAC Gateway: Is it possible to bind RADIUS daemon to a second interface / nic ?

NAC Gateway: Is it possible to bind RADIUS daemon to a second interface / nic ?

Is it possible to bind the RADIUS daemon on NAC Gateway on two interfaces simultaniously ? We need this during a network migration period.

NAC Gateway have IP A (eth0)- where Management, Netsight Communication and RADIUS is running currently. Additionally we want having IP B (eth1) within a different IP Subnet. So we can move our switches (which have configured mac Auth) from the old network to the new network.

Is that possible ? The GUI seems to support that ! Did any try this before ?
Any side effects that have to be considered ?

This can only be done on one interface at a time.
I would recommend bringing up a second NAC.
If it's temporary, you can run a virtual one with an eval for a number of days to complete your project.

The secondary ethernet interface of a NAC Gateway is not designed for communitcation, it is only designed for some traced or mirrored traffic.

Would'nt it be much easier if you add a routing interface or physical router between those two networks?

It is not neccessary to be in the same subnet or vlan for authentication (NAC GW) or management (Netsight).
