    Hi All, within our dot1x auth service we have been used to using an CLI enforcement profile to log in to our cisco switches and write a description of the authenticated device to the port and this has worked well for years, however, now we are moving to extreme switches (universal hardware, 5320s etc, running VOSS) and it seems Clearpass will not even make an attempt to log in to the extreme switch when the same (adjusted) profile is applied. I can tell because I should see clearpass's user account in access tracker (radius request) but not for these extreme switches? I found some release notes where this issue was called out and supposed to be fixed in 6.5.0 or at least 6.5.5. but we are well beyond that release. Anyone have any insight here? Thanks so much.

    CLI enforcement has been added in the past for a very specific use-case, where there was no alternative. It's not recommended to use in any way, not it is heavily tested as far as I know. Personally, I've done many things with ClearPass, but never needed or tested this functionality.

    You may work with support and see if they can help you troubleshooting, or you may be extremely lucky if someone reading this has done this and found out how to do it.
