Introduction
This chapter provides a functional overview of the Enterasys NAC Controller and its features.
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).
