MS250 / 15.21.1 - 802.1x with ISE - Session reauthentication

[Markus_F]

Hi All

We're doing 802.1x with Cisco ISE and dynamic Vlan assignement. Having reauthentication configured with the option RADIUS-Request.

Now the clients getting disconnected all the time after the session timeout, which is not expected and we're not seeing this behavior on Cisco Catalyst gear.

Anybody here having some advice?

Hi ,

Have you tested this with a more recent MS firmware ? MS 17.1.4 is stable RC.

We will give it a try. Thanks

Hi John

We opened a TAC case and got the following back:

I wanted to follow up on your query regarding the reauthentication process on Meraki switches. Unfortunately, the "maintain connectivity during reauthentication" feature, which you mentioned is available with Cisco switches, is not currently supported on Meraki devices. As a result, clients will experience a brief loss of connectivity during reauthentication.
