NAC "Active" Users

[Wayne Lunsford]

On the "Configuration" tab of our NAC appliances, there is a field called "End-System Capacity" which displays a something like "2500/3000 (83%)". I know the second number (3000) is the number of licenses we have for this device.

What does the 2500 number represent? I had thought it meant "active" (simultaneous) connections, but in our case, that number is far greater than the number of DHCP addresses available to clients that use the NAC. Can someone shed some light on this for us?

I just had that question answered for me by GTAC.....
They tell me it's the number of authentications seen by the NAC in a 24 hour period from midnight to midnight...

Hi,

That means 2500 authentications per 24 hours.

If you have re-authentication enabled, the number will be higher.
FYI, max re-auth timer is 18 hours.

Kind regards,

Markus

Thank you all !
One more question, then: Does "authentications" mean MAC
authentications or user authentications?
