I'm having issues with trying to migrate from my old system of a "poor mans NAC" to using Access Manager, and trying to keep my networks secure. Long story short I've got it pretty much all figured out but right now I have my access points connected to port 8 which is set to Trunk. Theoretically a bad actor could walk in, unplug the access point, and use that Trunk port to get unrestricted access to the network. In the past we plugged that hole by applying a deny-all rule to our production VLAN, then let devices in using systems manager and group policies. The problem here is apparently device policies, and 802.1X policies are not the same and are both active at the same time? I was trying to use Access Manager to apply an authorized access group policy to devices but they're still being affected by the deny-all group policy applied to the production VLAN. Is there an easier way to prevent someone from simply unplugging our access point and gaining access to our network?
