Some 802.1X specific information per port should be collected by ipdevpoll and presented on the port details page of ipdevinfo.

NAV collects the native VLAN configured on a switch port, but this does not necessarily correspond to the VLAN assigned to the port during an active 802.1X session. MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass)-assigned VLANs should also be supported, but may also have a different information source not yet support by NAV.

  • Identify which MIB(s) can be used to fetch the 802.1X VLAN. This may be vendor dependent.
  • Identify whether MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass)-assigned VLANs are collectable through the same 802.1X MIB(s) or in a different MIB. This may be vendor dependent.
  • Design a data model for storing these kinds of "auxiliary" VLAN values for ports.
  • Extend ipdevpoll to collect and store these values.
  • Identify whether these "auxiliary" VLANs need to be considered by the topology detector
    • And if so, extend navtopology to use the values during detection.
