Abstract
A system that includes a switch, a network authentication server (NAS), and a threat management server. The NAS sends a device identifier for an endpoint device and a port identifier identifying a port on the switch to a threat management server in response to the device passing authentication. The threat management server determines the endpoint device has a block on the port of the switch using the device identifier and the port identifier. The threat management server determines a block timeout period for the endpoint device and the port on the switch has expired. The threat management server removes the block for the endpoint device on the port on the switch in response to determining the block timeout period for the endpoint device and the port on the switch has expired.
