About This Network Configuration Example
This Network Configuration Example (NCE) describes how to configure a Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switch and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager to authenticate wired endpoints that connect to EX Series switches. Specifically, it shows how to configure an EX Series switch and Aruba ClearPass to profile endpoints in authentication process and use the device profiling information to determine access policy.
The colorless port concept rely on device profiling to return the appropriate VLAN/policy. All ports have the same configuration (colorless) and based on the device type connected (AP, IP camera, or printer), NAC (ClearPass) will return the appropriate VLAN/role.
