Description
The variables that can be used in a Network Access Policy Flex CLI  (%port% %vlan% %ip% %mac%) is dependent upon whether the CLI configuration is set to Port Based or Host Based in the Model Configuration of the switch.   

To verify:
1.  Login to the Administration UI and navigate to Network Devices > Topology.
2.  Right click on the model and select Model Configuration.


Solution

The following table shows what variables can be used for each type (Port Based vs Host Based):

CLI Configuration Valid Variable Options

Substitution Data              Port Based DO commands         Port based UNDO commands        Host Based DO commands        Host Based UNDO commands

%port%                             Yes                                                      Yes                                                          Yes                                                   No
%vlan%                             Yes                                                      Yes                                                          Yes                                                   No
%ip%                                 No                                                       No                                                           Yes                                                   Yes
%mac%                             No                                                       No                                                           Yes                                                   Yes


Based on the above chart, a Flex CLI that is needed to do the following command would require that the switch's Model Configuration be set for Host Based CLI
because it uses all 4 variables in the DO section (%port% %vlan% %ip% %mac%).

 
config t
ip source binding %macXXXX.XXXX.XXXX% vlan %vlan% %ip%  interface %port%
end
