Table 4 lists suitable edge port security modes and their typical use within a network.The case studies in Chapter 4 explain how these port security modes operate to control network access.

Table 4 Edge Port Security Modes Compatible With 3Com Network Access Manager

Port Security Mode Typical Use Supported By

RADA-Else-Network Login	Primarily used for blocking unwanted hosts, as the
	RADA authorization overrides the ability for the user
	to log-in.
	This is the recommended edge port security mode,
	if the devices on your network support it. All users
	have to be authorised before being allowed access.
	Any computer or device can access the network as
	long as that they have not been identified as
	infected. This allows a network administrator to
	easily add host filtering to an existing IEEE 802.1X
	network.

SuperStack3 Switch4400SE v5.0 (does not support QoS profiles)

RADA And Network Login	Both the computer and the user need to be
	authorized to gain access to the network.
	It is primarily used for “White-list” style of security,
	where all known computers have to be first
	configured before a user can log-in from one of
	these computers.
