Extreme connect: Aruba Clear Pass

[EF]

Hi Team,

I did this integration using the connect module, now I see the ClearPass end points in XIQ-SE --> control --> End system, but I’m not sure what it’s used for.

Did anyone do this integration and give me tips for use this info?

Regards!!!

Data is retrieved from ClearPass and is stored in Control -> End Systems and is available for viewing and associating MAC to IP for Analytics flow identification purposes (if Analytics is part of the solution).

Straight from the XIQ-SE online help:

Aruba ClearPass

The Aruba ClearPass integration is a one-way integration offering end-system data retrieval from ClearPass. ClearPass end-systems will be created and updated within ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine. That end-system data can then be synced to Extreme Analytics and thus be mapped to flow data (username, device type, policy profile).

Note

Mapping end-system data from ClearPass to flow data within Extreme Analytics requires a correctly configured IP resolution within ClearPass since the mapping is done based on the end-system’s IP address.
