Reference Guide

1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide setup instructions for the Cisco 3750 12.2 (58) switch with
the ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). This includes 802.1x, MAC, and Downloadable Access Control
Lists (DACLs) authentications. Voice services will not be covered in this document.
Assumptions
Verify that a basic configuration of CPPM has been completed (setup and a generic catch-all radius
service).
This document discussion uses an Aruba 3200 controller (192.168.99.5) as the DHCP server. Use of a
DHCP server setup for the discussed VLANs is required.
Cisco switches support multiple authentication methods and many RADIUS options that are passed to
the switch. This document discusses only a small subset of these features.
After each configuration change, exit the configure terminal mode and perform a “write memory” to save
the configuration.
Requirements
• LAN Switch that supports 802.1x and MAC Authentication Bypass
• DHCP Server for the registration VLAN
• Current ClearPass Policy Manager release
Audience
This document is intended for network administrators deploying a network security solution.
Basic familiarity with most Cisco switches is assumed. For in-depth information about the features and
functions of this appliance, refer to the ClearPass User Guide.
