Role of the Nortel SNAS

The Nortel SNAS helps protect the network by ensuring endpoint
compliance for devices that connect to the network.

Before allowing a device to have full network access, the Nortel SNAS
checks user credentials and host integrity against predefined corporate
policy criteria. Through tight integration with network access devices, the
Nortel SNAS can:

dynamically move the user into a quarantine VLAN

dynamically grant the user full or limited network access

dynamically apply per port firewall rules that apply to a device’s
connection

Once a device has been granted network access, the Nortel SNAS
continually monitors the health status of the device to ensure continued
compliance. If a device falls out of compliance, the Nortel SNAS can
dynamically move the device into a quarantine or remediation VLAN.
