Forescout must be configured to apply dynamic ACLs that restrict the use of ports when nonentity endpoints are connected using MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB). This is required for compliance with C2C Step 4.

MAB is only one way of connecting nonentity endpoints, and can be defeated by spoofing the MAC address of an assumed authorized device. By adding the device to the MAR, the device can then gain access to the network.

NPE devices that can support PKI or an allowed authentication type must use PKI. MAB may be used for NPE that cannot support an approved device authentication. Nonentity endpoints include Internet of Things (IoT) devices, VoIP phone, and printer.

If DoW is not at C2C Step 4 or higher, this is not a finding.

Verify Forescout applies dynamic ACLs (or VLAN restrictions) that restrict the use of ports when nonentity endpoints are connected using MAC Address Repository (MAR).

If the NAC or switch does not apply dynamic ACLs (or VLAN restrictions) that restrict the use of ports when nonentity endpoints are connected using MAR, this is a finding.

Use the Forescout Administrator UI to configure the policy, which identifies nonentity endpoints to complete a control action when a device is added to the MAR.

1. Log on to Forescout UI. 2. In the Policy tab, locate the Authentication and Authorization policy set. 3. Select a policy that identifies nonentity endpoints. Highlight the policy, then select "Edit". 4. From the Sub-Rules section, ensure that when a device is added to the MAR, the policy also applies one of the following actions: -Access Port ACL. -Endpoint Address ACL. -WLAN Role. -VLAN Change.

Note: The switch may be configured, for example, to have a voice-vlan designated by the local network to assign VoIP devices to specific vlans on the switch. In this case, the Policy, MAR, or RADIUS pre-authentication entry requires an AVPair setting (e.g., CISCO-AVPair, or other "AVPair" setting) when combined with the switch setting for the voice-vlan or equivalent to enforce VLAN designation. Expected Site Evidence: - Forescout policy and/or MAC Address Bypass configuration demonstrating assignment of VLAN or switch designating VLAN in the event of a VoIP device. - UI screenshots showing enforcement. - SSP mapping and approval. - Logs or alerts demonstrating enforcement.
