NAP Server Architecture

 

The NAP server architecture is in some ways analogous to an AAA architec-

 

ture. An enforcement point controls endpoints’ network access according to

 

instructions from a policy server—here, the NPS. The NPS, in turn, makes

 

decisions based on its own policies and information stored in repositories.

 

The components of the architecture are described in the sections below.

 

 

N o t e

As with AAA (in which the same physical device can act as PEP and PDP), the

 

same physical server can run the Windows Server 2008 components required

 

for a policy enforcement point and an NPS. However, it is recommended that

 

you separate the roles.
