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!!!

Hello Robert

This is the only document available and, from my perspective, it doesn't explain how the integration works or how to use it.

During my deployment, I imported hundreds of devices from ClearPass, but they are not usable in Analytics and cannot be found through Maps searches, for example.

I opened a support case, and apparently ClearPass Insight must be enabled for this integration to work properly.

I'll try to share the case notes once it's resolved, as they may be useful for others. In any case, the documentation around this integration is very limited.

King 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.
