OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 28-116
Key Components of a BYOD Solution
The OmniSwitch BYOD solution comprises of the following main components:
• The network infrastructure consisting of both wireless and wireline networks. The OmniSwitch
leverages the Access Guardian features, such as 802.1X (supplicant) and MAC (non-supplicant)
authentication and classification through the Universal Network Profile (UNP) framework to support
the BYOD solution.
• The UPAM and CPPM both interact with wireless and wireline networks acting as a RADIUS server
or RADIUS server proxy. The UPAM and CPPM provide policy management, guest access,
onboarding, and posture checking capabilities.
