    Study Notes

    Infrastructure Management

    • FortiNAC commonly uses SNMP to complete tasks related to the infrastructure.
    • FortiNAC uses SNMP to discover the infrastructure, complete data collection, and perform ongoing management.
    • SNMP is used to gather visibility information and control access across a wired or wireless connection.

    Device Visibility

    • FortiNAC uses SNMP and LLDP to stay up to date on visibility details, such as hosts going offline.
    • FortiNAC may leverage vendor-specific APIs, such as Cisco's CLI or Juniper's Netconf, to enhance visibility and enforce control, depending on the vendor of the infrastructure device.

    Device Identification

    • FortiNAC identifies connected devices and gains enhanced visibility through LLDP and SNMP.

    Data Collection

    • FortiNAC uses LLDP to gather Layer 2 Polling Data.
    • SNMP is used to issue commands to gather visibility information or execute control functions on a device.
    • FortiNAC uses syslog to log and react to security alerts, if configured to do so.

    Communication Methods

    • The type of device FortiNAC is communicating with determines the communication methods used.
    • FortiNAC uses SNMP and LLDP to gather information and maintain control after knowing the type of device it is communicating with.

    Vendor-Specific Configuration

    • FortiNAC uses vendor-specific APIs, such as Cisco's CLI or Juniper's Netconf, to enhance visibility and enforce control, depending on the vendor and model of the infrastructure device.

    Layer 2 Data Polling

    • Linkup, linkdown, warmstart, and coldstart traps trigger Layer 2 data polling in FortiNAC.
    • Endpoint visibility is established in FortiNAC through the combination of SNMP and LLDP.
    • The preferred method for learning and updating Layer 2 information in FortiNAC is through SNMP and LLDP.
    • Manual polling for Layer 2 information occurs in FortiNAC when the device is not sending traps or notifications.
    • The purpose of link traps received from an edge device in FortiNAC is to trigger Layer 2 data polling.
    • MAC notification traps in FortiNAC trigger the beginning of endpoint visibility.

    Best Practices

    • SNMP and LLDP should always be used for learning and updating Layer 2 information when it is an option in FortiNAC.
    • Manual polling should not be configured on interfaces that are uplinks in FortiNAC.
