Chapter 1

About Dell Networking W-ClearPass

Policy Manager

The Dell Networking W-ClearPass Policy Manager platform provides role- and device-based network access control

across any wired, wireless and VPN. Software modules for the Dell Networking W-ClearPass Policy Manager

platform, such as Guest, Onboard, Profile, OnGuard, QuickConnect, and Insight simplify and automate device

configuration, provisioning, profiling, health checks, and guest access.

With built-in RADIUS, SNMP and TACACS+ protocols, Dell Networking W-ClearPass Policy Manager provides

device registration, device profiling, endpoint health assessments, and comprehensive reporting to automatically

enforce user and endpoint access policies as devices connect to the network.

Policy Manager Dashboard

The Policy Manager Dashboard menu allows you to display system health and other request related statistics. Policy

Manager comes pre-configured with different dashboard elements. The screen on the right of the dashboard menu is

partitioned into five fixed slots. You can drag and drop any of the dashboard elements into the five slots. The

dashboard elements are listed below:

This shows a graph of all requests processed by

Policy Manager over the past week. This includes

RADIUS, TACACS+ and WebAuth requests. The

default data filter “All Requests” is used to plot this

graph. Clicking on each bar in the graph drills down

into the Access Tracker and shows the requests for

that day.

This shows a graph of the “Healthy” vs. “Unhealthy”

requests over the past week. Healthy requests are

those requests where the health state was deemed to

be healthy (based on the posture data sent from the

client). Unhealthy requests are those requests whose

health state was deemed to be quarantined (posture

data received but health status is not compliant) or

unknown (no posture data received). This includes

RADIUS and WebAuth requests. The default data

filters “Health Requests” and “Unhealthy Requests”

are used to plot this graph. Clicking on each circle on

the line graph drills down into the Access Tracker

and shows the healthy or unhealthy requests for that

day.

This shows a graph of the “Failed” vs. “Successful”

requests over the past week. This includes RADIUS,

WebAuth and TACACS+ requests. The default data

filters “Failed Requests” and “Successful Requests”

are used to plot this graph. Clicking on each circle on

the line graph drills down into the Access Tracker

and shows the failed or successful requests for that

day.

This shows a table of the last few authentications.

Clicking on a row drills down into the Access Tracker

and shows requests sorted by timestamp with the

latest request showing first.

20 Dell Networking W-ClearPass Policy Manager 6.0 | User Guide

This chart shows the graph of all profiled devices

categorized into built in categories – Smartdevices,

Access Points, Computer, VOIP phone, Datacenter

Appliance, Printer, Physical Security, Game Console,

Routers, Unknown and Conflict.

Unknown devices are devices that the profiler was

not able to profile.

Conflict indicates a conflict in the categorization of

the device. For example, if the device category

derived from the HTTP User Agent string does not

match with the category derived from DHCP

fingerprinting, a conflict is flagged, and the device is

marked as Conflict.

The Device Family widget allows you to drill down

further into each of the built-in device categories. For

example, selecting SmartDevice shows the different

kinds of smartdevices identified by Profile.

This shows a table of the last few successful

authentications. Clicking on a row drills down into

the Access Tracker and shows successful requests

sorted by timestamp with the latest request showing

first.

This shows a table of the last few failed

authentications. Clicking on a row drills down into

the Access Tracker and shows failed requests sorted

by timestamp with the latest request showing first.

This shows a bar chart with each bar representing an

Policy Manager service requests were categorized

into. Clicking on a bar drills down into the Access

Tracker and shows the requests that were

categorized into that specific service.

This shows a table of last few system level events.

Clicking on a row drills down into the Event Viewer
