Configuring the NAC Exclusion List

The switch provides a means to bypass NAC for 802.1x devices without a NAC agent. For Brocade
handheld devices (like the MC9000), authentication is achieved using an exclusion list.
A list of MAC addresses (called an exclusion list) can be added to each WLAN. Each has a separate
configuration for the Radius server (which only conducts EAP authentication). An exclusion list is a
global index-based configuration. An exclusion list can be configured and associated to any WLAN.
If a device's MAC address is not present in an exclusion list, it will go through the NAC server (LAN
enforcer) and thereby a 802.1x host integrity check. For every WLAN configuration, there are two
separate EAP servers (Radius and NAC).
Whenever a host entry is added or deleted from/to the list, the associated WLAN is updated and
deauthenticated. The de-authenticated client can be re-authenticated once it receives the
de-authentication information from the WLAN.
For a NAC configuration example using the switch CLI, see NAC Configuration Examples Using the
Switch CLI on page 4-157.
