Network Admission Control Policy Page

Network Admission Control (NAC) policies enable Cisco IOS routers acting as network access devices (NADs) to enforce access privileges when an endpoint tries to connect to a network. Access decisions are made on the basis of information provided by the endpoint device, such as its current antivirus state, thus keeping insecure nodes from infecting the network.

You can configure NAC policies on a Cisco IOS router from the following tabs on the Network Admission Control policy page:

•Network Admission Control Page—Setup Tab, page K-183

•Network Admission Control Page—Interfaces Tab, page K-186

•Network Admission Control Page—Identities Tab, page K-189

For more information, see Network Admission Control on Cisco IOS Routers, page 15-134.
