How to retrieve MAC address, VLAN, and Switch Port info from ClearPass REST API

  • 1.  How to retrieve MAC address, VLAN, and Switch Port info from ClearPass REST API

    Posted Jul 02, 2025 06:26 AM

    Hi,

    I'm trying to use the ClearPass REST API to get details about active sessions, specifically including the MAC address and VLAN information.

    I have already:

    • Created an API Client with Client Credentials grant type

    • Set the Operator Profile to Super Administrator

    • Successfully generated an access token via /api/oauth

    Question:
    What is the correct endpoint path to retrieve this data?
    Is it /api/session, /api/active_session, or another endpoint?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    As far as i know (i might be wrong so you better verify it) ClearPass does not expose real-time session data via standard REST endpoints. Instead, you can extract real-time data through Syslog push to external collector (we started using Wazuh and it works amazing) or via ClearPass Insight, if licensed.
