Figure 56: Cisco Web Authentication Proxy Service
Configuring the Cisco Web Authentication Proxy service is similar to configuring the Dell 802.1X Wireless
service except that the Posture Compliance and Profile Endpoints options are not available. For more
information on configuration tabs, see Dell 802.1X Wireless on page 83.
MAC Authentication
MAC-based authentication service is used for clients without an 802.1X supplicant or a posture agent (printers,
other embedded devices, and computers owned by guests or contractors). The network access device sends a
MAC authentication request to W-Policy Manager. W-Policy Manager can look up the client in a white list or a
black list, authenticate and authorize the client against an external authentication/authorization source, and
optionally perform an audit on the client.
You cannot configure posture for this type of service.
