The NAC Controller Policy Configuration
Modifying the Downstream Default Policy
Depending on the network configuration or circumstances, itʹs possible that traffic from the upstream side could be rerouted to the NAC Controller, where it would be authenticated using the upstream source IP address. To avoid this problem, add a Layer 3 IP Address Source rule to the downstream default policy configured on the NAC Controller, using the upstream IP subnets (or critical servers located in the upstream) and containing the traffic to a VLAN.
