Summary

NetSight Console

NetSight Console is used to monitor the health and status of infrastructure devices in the network, including switches, routers, Enterasys NAC appliances (NAC Gateways and NAC Controllers) as well as other security appliances. NetSight NAC Manager is a plugin to NetSight Console, and NetSight Console must be installed on a server with NAC Manager for the Enterasys NAC solution.

NetSight Policy Manager

The NetSight Policy Manager application provides the ability to centrally define and configure the authorization levels or “policies” for certain NAC deployments. Policy Manager is required for inline NAC deployments, and provides the ability to configure and manage policies on the NAC Controller appliance. Policy Manager is recommended for out‐of‐band NAC deployments that include Enterasys policy‐enabled switches in the access layer, and provides the ability to centrally manage policies on these switches. This central administration of policies using Policy Manager includes distribution of the “Enterprise User,” “Assessing,” “Quarantine,” and “Failsafe” policy roles to the policy enforcement points.

NetSight Inventory Manager

The NetSight Inventory Manager application is an optional component of the NAC solution, providing comprehensive network inventory and change management capabilities for your network infrastructure.

RADIUS Server

A RADIUS server with backend directory services must be implemented in the NAC solution if 802.1X or web‐based (PWA) authentication of end‐systems is utilized with out‐of‐band network access control.

Furthermore, if RADIUS is utilized for authenticating management logins for infrastructure devices, a RADIUS server must be deployed on the network.

Assessment Server

If the NAC deployment model includes vulnerability assessment, one or more assessment servers must be deployed on the enterprise network either as integrated components of the NAC appliance or as external assessment services.

Summary

The Enterasys NAC solution supports the five key network access control functions: detection, authentication, assessment, authorization, and remediation. Four NAC deployment models provide support for diverse enterprise environments, with each model implementing particular aspects of NAC functionality.

•Model 1: End‐System Detection and Tracking ‐ Implements detection to provide visibility into what devices are connecting to the network, who is using these devices, and where the devices are connected.

•Model 2: End‐System Authorization ‐ Implements detection, authentication, and authorization to provide network access control based on user and end‐system identity and location.
