Network Admission Control Policy Page
Network Admission Control (NAC) policies enable Cisco IOS routers acting as
network access devices (NADs) to enforce access privileges when an endpoint
tries to connect to a network. Access decisions are made on the basis of
information provided by the endpoint device, such as its current antivirus state,
thus keeping insecure nodes from infecting the network.
You can configure NAC policies on a Cisco IOS router from the following tabs on
the Network Admission Control policy page:
Network Admission Control Page—Setup Tab, page K-183
Network Admission Control Page—Interfaces Tab, page K-186
Network Admission Control Page—Identities Tab, page K-189
For more information, see Network Admission Control on Cisco IOS Routers,
page 15-134.
