Alcatel Unleashed

Hello silvio,

Thank you for your reply ! We have already opened a ticket with Alcatel, without much luck for now, and we are in discussion with our technical contact as well :)

But I wanted to know if anyone out here might have a suggestion or had encountered the same situation and found a ...

Hi all,

We are trying to implement a standard configuration on all interfaces of our switches with 802.1X authentication falling back to MAC authentication. All of our ports are configured with an unused vlan in access, needing authentication to assign the correct vlan via UNP profiles. However ...

Ok, thank you for the input.

Result is "Pass".

I've already seen devices on "80 Blk" and when I Wiresharked, I saw device was tagging its traffic on vlan 80.

But i realy don't understand why "0 Blk" does the device tag its traffic on vlan 0?

Hi,

I use 802.1x and when I run "show aaa-device all-users", there is an "addr mode" column with sometimes the value "Blk".

Here is an example:

Slot MAC User Addr IP Authentication User Network
Port Address Name Vlan Mode Address Type Result Profile Name ...

We also found something into 6900's doc : SAA for Service Assurance Agent.

Basically it's a feature which ping a list of IPs to monitor RTTs, make summary and send traps on thresholds.
So it's the same trick as Nagios.

unfortunately:
this doesn't seems to be able to ping a subnet range (since it's ...

Yes, but unfortunately if the switch reboots, it loose all his vlan/port associations and the silent machine is isolated.

An Alcatel guy told us to use "vlan x port y/z" which basicly has the same result but without the reboot issue:

vlan 12 name printer
vlan 12 port 1/1-24
vlan 12 ip 10.0.12.0 ...

Hi,

we've got a problem with some machines (printers, industrial devices, ...) that doesn't generate trafic except when they receive a request.

So they loose their vlan mobility and/or their 802.1x access and become unreachable.

We are currently using Nagios to ping these machines so they ...
