NAC Unable to reach the appliance

NAC Unable to reach the appliance

Hello, everybody!

I have installed NAC in a virtual machine and the installation process completed successfully. I have installed NAC license and can ping address of the machine from everywhere. However, from Netsight server I can't get access to NAC appliance using NAC console. The NAC Appliance is accessible over http:\x.x.x.x:8080 and :8443

How can I use this sophisticated software??? Please, help! The only reason to use NAC is ExtremeWifi can't provide (Out-of-box, I mean) authentications for users when client has more than 1 Active Directory Domain!!!

Please, take a look at the picture below. I get this message and don't know what to do.

Many thanks in advance,

Ilya

Hello,

SNMP is not used to manage a NAC appliance from NAC Manager, but rather, a secure TCP connection. Please make sure these ports are open between the NAC and NetSight server:

Also make sure the credentials havnt been changed prior to adding a new NAC:

If you continue to have issues you should open a case with the Extreme GTAC.

During the initial setup of the NAC you'd need to set certain parameters like Netsight IP, SNMP community...

Then you'd need to add the NAC to the Netsight console as a device with this SNMP parameters so Netsight could communicate via SNMP to the NAC.

Have you done that ?

Just to clarify, SNMP is not used to manage a NAC appliance from NAC Manager, but rather, a secure TCP connection. SNMP can be used to monitor the NAC from NetSight Console, if so desired, but this is optional when adding a new NAC to NAC Manager and has no bearing on NAC appliance / NAC Manager communication.
