An IT Solutions Partner requested Traversa’s expertise and services  for the implementation of Aruba ClearPass at a large University.

 

Project Request:

A large University was wanting to better secure network access for wired connections within their campus dorms by implementing Aruba ClearPass.  The solution would securely allow students to self-register their devices using the WLAN captive portal.

 

Solution:

Traversa implemented Aruba ClearPass for the wired connections in the dorms using MAC authentication on student devices (laptops, iPhone, gaming consoles, tablets, etc.).  The University also wanted to use the WLAN guest portal to register the devices with the ability for them to view all the connected devices (wireless and wired) with authentication of only registered & authorized devices.

Our engineers consulted on the design and configuration of the ClearPass solution.  A ClearPass Proof of Concept (POC) was performed with selected switch models testing against appropriate client devices.  The POC proved the solution successful for the University.  Traversa concluded the project by providing knowledge transfer to enable the University to self-deploy ClearPass to their remaining switches throughout the University’s dorms.  All work performed by Traversa throughout this project was conducted remotely.
