MR APs allowed protocols with ISE

Hi

I am in the middle of my first Meraki AP / Cisco ISE integration  for Machine and User authentication.

 

 I am using the following as my reference.

 

https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-documents/how-to-integrate-meraki-networks-with-ise/ta-p/361...

 

Can the APs use EAP TLS instead of MSCHAPv2?

 

The above document suggests not but any clarification is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Kind of a big deal

Yep, the APs don't really inhibit the EAP type, its more to do with what the supplicant and RADIUS server support. Cisco ISE supports EAP-TLS, but this will mean you'll most likely be using certificates for authentication, so you'll need an appropriate Enterprise PKI in place, certificates issued to devices/users, and trusted CA certificates installed on ISE - and then you need to write the policy to check the certificates.

 

If this is your first experience with ISE I'd follow the guide and get the username/password solution working with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 first, and then look at how you can move to EAP-TLS and certificates.
