Subject: 5.02 - ARP does not work after 802.1X is activated
Date opened: 10/4/2019 9:40 AM
Date Closed: 12/12/2019
Fix: 5.04 Release (December 2019)
Workaround:
Using "Create Device" wizard, create just the device, WITHOUT enable/configure any technology
After the device is created, go ahead and activate and configure 802.1x using 802.1X tab
Make sure to APPLY
Root Cause
Bug - When using "Create Device" wizard to enable and configure 802.1x protocol, this creates a device with only 1 interlace - Ethernet interface which is used by the 802.1x device.
Activate and configure 802.1x protocol using Create Devices Wizard creates the devices on a "faulty" state, where there is only 1 interface, which is the ethernet interface used by dot1x device:
Activate and configure 802.1x AFTER device creation using 802.1X tab creates the device in the correct way
