Overview

The 2S4082‐25‐SYS and 7S4280‐19‐SYS Enterasys NAC Controllers are In‐Band/Out‐Of‐Band solution network access card devices designed for the non‐intelligent edge to support the detection of the introduction of new end‐stations on a network in VPN, wireless, or third party non‐RFC 3580 compliant settings. NAC Controllers verify the end station’s identity and assess its security risk before granting access to network services. The 2S4082‐25‐SYS and 7S4280‐19‐SYS designs provide a single slot N1‐7C111 chassis with an installed module, referred to as a

NAC Controller Policy Enforcement Point (PEP). Figure 1‐1 displays the 2S4082‐25‐SYS Enterasys NAC Controller. Figure 1‐2 displays the 7S4280‐19‐SYS Enterasys NAC Controller.
