Change of Authorization (CoA) calls send commands to a specified session on a targeted Monitoring node to perform the following:
The following sections describe each type of CoA API call as well as provide schema file examples, procedures for issuing each call, and a sample of the data returned:
A Reauth API call sends a reauthentication command to a specified session. Each session has an associated value and can be one of the following:
Note Make sure that you have verified that the target node is a valid Monitoring node. To verify the persona of a node, see Verifying a Monitoring Node.
Step 1 Log in to the target Monitoring node.
For example, when you initially log in to a Monitoring node with the hostname acme123, the following URL address field is displayed:
Step 2 Enter the Reauth API call in the URL address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/” component with the API call component (/ise/mnt/CoA/<specific-api-call>/<macaddress>/
<reauthtype>):
Note You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because the calls are case sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Monitoring node.
Step 3 Press Enter to issue the API call.
A Disconnect API call sends a disconnect command to a specified session and port. Each port has an associated value and can be one of the following:
Note Make sure that the target node to which you are issuing an API call is a valid Monitoring node. To verify the persona of a node, see Verifying a Monitoring Node.
Step 1 Log in to the target Monitoring node.
For example, when you initially log in to a Monitoring node with the hostname acme123, the following URL address field is displayed:
Step 2 Enter the Disconnect API call in the URL address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/” component with the API call component (/ise/mnt/CoA/<Disconnect>/<serverhostname>/
<macaddress>/<portoptiontype>/<nasipaddress>/<destinationipaddress>):
Note You must carefully enter each API call in the URL address field of a target node because the calls are case sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Monitoring node.
Step 3 Press Enter to issue the API call.
