Configuration guidelines
When you configure online user handshake, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
The SmartOn feature and the online user handshake feature are mutually exclusive. Before you enable the online user handshake feature, make sure the SmartOn feature is disabled.
To use the online user handshake security feature, make sure the online user handshake feature is enabled.
The online user handshake security feature takes effect only on the network where the iNode client and IMC server are used.
If the network has 802.1X clients that cannot exchange handshake packets with the access device, disable the online user handshake feature. This operation prevents the 802.1X connections from being incorrectly torn down.
As a best practice, enable the online user handshake reply feature only if 802.1X clients will go offline without receiving EAP-Success packets from the device.
