Abstract
Campus network’s access become more complex with the exponential growth of different kinds of mobile devices. When enterprises deploy new
network equipment, one key requirement will be new equipment’s interoperability with existing Network Access Control (NAC) solutions for user
endpoints’ secure access.
Huawei commissioned Tolly to verify its campus network solution’s interoperability with the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), a third-party NAC
solution. The Huawei campus network solution includes the WLAN solution which uses the Huawei WLAN access controller as the NAC policy
enforcement point for Wi-Fi users, and the Ethernet switch solution which uses the Huawei S series campus switch as the NAC policy enforcement
point for wired users. Tests covered user/endpoint authentication (802.1X, MAC and portal), device management authentication (TACACS),
authorization, CoA, endpoint profiling, BYOD, posture assessment, and guest lifecycle management. With the Huawei access controller and the
Huawei S series campus switches as NAC policy enforcement points, the Huawei campus network solution passed all test cases to interoperate
with the Cisco ISE.
