Problem to authenticate MAC address on ISE

Hi guys,
I have a Lab with a ISE ver 1.1.1 installed on VMWARE, a Switch 3750, a WLC 4200 and one AP registered on WLC, the WLC and AP are connected to Switch, we are testing the user authentication using a samsung tablet and it work ok. The authentication procces is using the actual AD. the issue is when I try to authenticate de device using their MAC address. I'm reading many pappers, but no one explain me the steps to do the both autentication: by user and by MAC address using the ISE.
can any one help me about the authenticacion MAC address process on ISE. the final deployment our client want to use user and device authentication.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Hi Tarik,
Thanks for your reply,
the port configuration of SW is it:
DEMOSW# sh run int Gi2/0/11
description Access Wireless LAN Controller
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication open
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
authentication periodic
authentication timer reauthenticate server
mab
dot1x pae authenticator
spanning-tree portfast
DEMOSW# sh run int Gi2/0/12
description Access Point
switchport access vlan 103
spanning-tree portfast
Our goal is that the MAC address Tablets can be authenticated using the ISE Internal Enpoints Database.
I hope you may help me about it.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
Regards.

Using ACS to authenticate mac addresses

I am wanting to use ACS 3.3 to be the authentication source for mac address authentication on a WLAN. All AP's are 1200's. Configuring the AP to look to to ACS box seems pretty straight forward. But how do you configure the ACS box. Do you just enter the mac address as the user name? What do you enter as the password?

You have to use the MAC address for both user id and password. This MAC address should be in the same format seen by the AP.
Please go to "MAC Authentication" portion of the following document for more information http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2086/products_configuration_example09186a00805e7a13.shtml

Wifi MAC authentication on ISE 1.3

We are trying to configure ISE to authenticate wifi user through WLC using MAC address.
ISE checks against internal endpoint identity store for authorized MAC address.
We found that the first time a wifi device tries to connect (this MAC address has not yet been manually input in the internal endpoint identity store) the authentication fails which is normal. However after this authentication failure, such MAC address will be automatically input in the internal endpoint identity store. So next time the same wifi device tries to connect the authentication will succeed.
How to configure ISE to prevent this from happening?

An "authorized" mac address should be so, by putting it into a specific group in ISE manually, so that you have to move it there to allow it to connect. Then update your authz rule to only allow mac adresses from that specific internal group.
Just so we are clear, this is not for guest access right? Is it just an open ssid where you wan't to control what mac addresses are allowed on there ?

ACS V4.1 How to separate MAC addresses in an Authentication rule....?

I'm configuring Agentless Authentication based om MAC addresses sendt from the access switch using MAB (MAC Authent. Bypass). I got it up and running, but with just one MAC address configured in the Authentication rule. When I try to configure more than one address in the rule, I get an error saying this is not a MAC address. How do you separate the MAC entries in the same Authentication rule. The doc says you can configure 10.000 addresses in one rule.

The ACS can authenticate MAC addresses sent from an AP/Switch. A properly configured AP/Switch will attempt to authenticate a MAC address using Secure-PAP authentication with the ACS. The MAC addresses are entered into the ACS as users, with the username and password being the MAC address.
1. From the ACS main menu, click on the USER SETUP button.
2. In the USER text box, type the MAC address to add to the user database. Use no dashes, periods,
or any other delimiter.
At the USER SETUP screen, enter the MAC address in the SECURE-PAP PASSWORD text box.
3.Click the SUBMIT button.
Adding the AP/Switch to the ACS server
1. From the ACS main menu click on the NETWORK CONFIGURATION button.
2. Click on the ADD ENTRY button.
3. Configure the DNS name of the AP, the IP address of the AP, the RADIUS shared secret and the
Authentication method.
4. Make sure to select RADIUS (Cisco Aironet) in the AUTHENTICATE USING drop down menu.
5. To complete, click the SUBMIT+RESTART button.

ISE 1.2 disable endpoints with certain mac address

Hi All,
We have an AD to authenticate for wireless users. In AD, we have specified to block the user if the password is entered wrongly for more than 3 times. The problem is some of them are using other user ID and locking the accounts. I have gotten the MAC address of the user. Can anyone please advise how to block the request from this MAC from even reaching the AD.
Thanks

You have two options from ISE and one option from the WLC:
The first option which is not very scalable is to modify your authentication policy to deny access to an specific MAC address(Radius:Calling station ID). But this is not very scalable as you can only specify one MAC address.
Your second option is to enable the anomalous client suppression(under systems->settings->protocols->RADIUS). This will be your best option but it would require a bit of testing to identify what are the best values for your environment.
From the controller you can enable the excessive 802.1x authentication failures. By default it won't even send the fourth authentication to ISE for a failing endpoint:

Mac-Address Different format for Authorization on Cisco ISE

Dear All,
I have problem with my Cisco ISE,
This is the design :
ISE ---- Core Switch ---- 3Com Switch --- PC User
My Case:
Authorization is based on Mac-address and Active Directory,
But user with PC that connect to 3Com swtich is Deny by ISE because the Format Mac-address is different with Cisco,
Mac-address Cisco format : XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Mac-address 3Com format : XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
3Com Switch type is TRICOM 4210 26-PORT.
Anyone have experience with this? and how change the mac-address format in 3Com so user can authorized by Cisco ISE.
note:
authorization based on Active Directory is not problem with 3Com Switch.
Based on my experience, Different product is different format mac-address, so this case not only for 3Com Switch.
Thanks,
Arika Wahyono

I do not think Cisco will add these vendors to the supported switch matrix because then it would be a support issue that cisco would have to deal with, much like most of the AD issues I experienced when I worked in TAC. Your best bet would be to run the evaluation license instance in a lab and have a 3com switch point against that.
Other than that I do not recommend upgrading to 1.2 without validating that the new "multi-vendor" MAB support will work on your switch.
PS- Keep in mind that my comments is just my opinion so you may need to open a TAC case for an official answer.

How to Implementing ise 1.2 authentication user name against mac address

Hi all,
My organization wants to authenticate medical devices with certificate.
What I'm trying to do is on the certificate the name of the user will be his mac address,
And the ise policy will be if the user name equal to mac address than he authenticate.
Until now I didn’t succeed.
Is it possible?
Lee.

It sounds like you are trying to do two different things.
The certificate can be done through 802.1x using peap I dont know if your devices can handle dot1x so if not they can use MAB. Far less secure but if its a low level device like a printer that has limited input capability then you are stuck with MAB.
What you could do with MAB is use the OUI and some other identifying information (if available) like device host names (This can be derived from DHCP i believe) and possibly av pairs (RADIUS) to help profile the devices. These can be put into a custom endpoint profile that is given a specific authorization rule.
The whole point is to try to isolate certain types of equipment so that only they get the custom authz rule
Does this make sense? Im shooting a little blind here without more info.

Notes syncing problem with @me address vs @mac address

Notes stopped syncing (on my mavericks macbook). I turned it off and on again in prefs. When it restarted it used my username@me address instead of my username@mac address. It was previously using my @mac address, which is my Mac ID. I cannot figure out how to get the @me out of there.

I also have this problem. A couple of days ago, the Notes App on my Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks) stopped syncing to my icloud. My iphone and ipad don't have this problem. I have done all the suggested actions (ie. unticking "notes" then ticking again; signing out of my icloud account then signing back in, etc), it then removed my icloud address on the Notes App and replaced it with [email protected]; but still no syncing. It just keeps showing "UPDATING" on the status bar. I can look at my icloud notes on the browser or my iphone but its just inconvenient.
Any other suggestions?

I have just bought a Humax PVR and Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme. I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen is picking up my network name no problem but it won't connect to the internet. Can anyone help please?

I have just bought a Humax 7500T PVR and a Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme.
I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen on my TV is picking up the network name but once appied it won't connect to the internet.
I've a few other things connected to the AE such as computers, ipad, itouch, etc, and have never had a problem connecting these once I've entered the mac address into the AE. Can anyone help me with this please?

have you made sure that the network setting in the system preferences is set up to use dhcp? if not i would try changing it so that it shows that it is getting its address by dhcp

SG200-8 Static mac address problem

Hi!
My second problem with sg200-08 (firmware: SG200-08x_FW_1.0.6.2.stk) is when I try to add specific MAC address as secure:
MAC Address Tables - Static Addresses - Add; insert vlan id, port, mac address and select "Secure":
I get error message: "Error: Failed to Add 'Static Address' entry.
Again, thanks for reply!
Best regards,

Strange as it may sound, try playing with compatibility mode in Internet Explorer. I have found that these switches interface respond well only in IE.

ISE and WLC 5508 IP and MAc address

Hi!
Is it possible that we recibe IP address and Mac address Client at the same time in ISE ?
The wlc permits choose radius Call station ip type MAC or IP, but not both.
Thanks you,

If you are using dot1x then no, the mac address is sent since the client does not receive an ip address till authetication succeeds.

AP 2700 - 2 MAC addresses - problem with joining to the WLC

Hi,
I had a problem with joining my new AP 2700 to the controller. I've found workaround but I would like to ask you if you know if this behavior is a some kind of bug or maybe feature :)
I have DHCP server which assigns IP address base on the binding MAC address with the IP address. Without binding, IP won't be assigned so I added MAC address from the AP sticker (MAC and SN number is on the sticker at the back of each AP) to the DHCP, connected AP to the switch port which was configured exactly the same way like other ports on this switch where older AP are working fine and.... nothing. IP address was not assigned. There was no DHCP request in the DHCP server logs.
During the investigation I've found that AP present 2 MAC addresses on the switch interface:
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
11 58f3.54c1.2cb4 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
The first one (58f3.54c1.2cb3) is a "sticker" MAC address but the second one (58f3.54c1.2cb4) is something new. Looking in to the DHCP logs I've found log that this second MAC address (58f3.54c1.2cb4) tried to get IP address but it was not possible because this MAC was not binding with any IP address so DHCP server refuse. I added this second MAC (58f3.54c1.2cb4) to the DHCP server, AP get IP address, join to the WLC, download software, reboot and ... this MAC address disappear.
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
Software I had on the AP before joining to the WLC was:
Version :
Cisco IOS Software, C2700 Software (AP3G2-RCVK9W8-M), Version 15.2(4)JB5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
now I have (after downloaded from the WLC)

Hi Folks,
I am having issue that mac addresses which we are trying to add under Internal Endpoint Group for MAB getting disappear automatically after few minutes. We tried multiple mac addresses but result same. We can see the mac address which we added earlier but new mac address getting disappear. Is there any limit to add mac address under Internal Endpoint. We have following licenses.

anybody help me

Hi,
An ethernet interface will be always up/up and it goes down only if there is problem between the given port and the connected one. The issue can be anywhere else in the middle.

How to specify in the ISE mac-address with its description?

Hello :-)
I want to implement ISE 1.2.
We have a database of mac-addresses and their description (for example the phone with the Mac address, John).
When connecting the phone John to a wifi network, WLC checks its mac-address in the database and allows access.
How to specify in the ISE Mac address with its description?
In the endpoint settings in ISE 1.2 there is no description field. We have ISE1.2.1.198, vWLC 8.0.100, AIR-LAP1131, MS AD (Win2003).
How can I handle this situation? Any ideas?
