NAC Interoperability Test of Huawei CloudCampus Solution with Forescout

Abstract

iMaster NCE-Campus is Huawei’s next-generation autonomous driving network management and control system for campus networks. Legacy networks may already have a Network Access Control (NAC) system implemented and, thus, it is important to demonstrate interoperability with such existing systems.

Tolly engineers verified the interoperability of the Huawei CloudCampus solution with Forescout Platform 8.3 across a wide range of function types and interconnection methods with Huawei networking interconnections. Independent interconnections were tested via Huawei switches and standalone wireless access controller (WAC). Interconnection via iMaster NCE-Campus was tested for VXLAN, Cloud Access Point (AP) and Native Access Controller (AC) scenarios.

The test suite covered the following areas: endpoint discovery, endpoint identification, access authentication, endpoint security check, and control & authorization. All tests included both wired and wireless clients.
