Catalyst 45 Series SUP8E ,802.1X ports getting error disabled randomly

MEB
Level 1
Level 1

Good Day All,

Facing a strange issue with Catalyst 45 Series  SUP 8E

802.1X (ISE) ports (that are both in Data and Voice VLAN) getting errors disabled  in a very random manner (because of security Violation) ,although the exact same ISE related configurations are working perfectly in R-E and R+E chassis' with SUP6 and SUP7!!!

 

The main ISE config. :

**************************

aaa server radius dynamic-author
client 172.17.17.36 server-key 7 <>
client 172.20.9.5 server-key 7 <>

**************************

dot1x system-auth-control
dot1x critical eapol

*************************

radius-server attribute 6 on-for-login-auth
radius-server attribute 6 support-multiple
radius-server attribute 8 include-in-access-req
radius-server attribute 25 access-request include
radius-server dead-criteria time 10 tries 3
radius-server host 172.17.17.36 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key 7 <>
radius-server host 172.20.9.5 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key 7 <>
radius-server host 172.20.9.5 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 test username XXX

randomly accross different floors

I tried "MULTI AUTH" instead of "Multi Domain",problem decreased significantly ,yet some few ones are always not working 
is there a new ISE related config. I must configure on SUP 8E that is unique compared to SUP6 and SUP7 ?

Appreciate your urgnet support

Bregards

Something that seems off to me is your auth server dead action is set to authorize vlan 103 which appears to be the vlan for your data domain. I could see that if the switch momentarily loses connectivity with your AAA server, it would fail both devices into that VLAN and trigger an AUTHMGR port violation and err-disable the port. Can you share the err-disable log message you receive when a port shuts down.

 

I don't understand why you would receive a port violation when in multi-auth mode though.
