We are looking to implement a nac solution and I just talked to a company named bradford which probably makes excellent products but wow expensive. I did a search and investigated PacketFence but they do not list alcatel as a supported switch. Does anyone know of any other nac solutions that will work with alcatel equipment?
Thanks again

Re: NAC solutions
The cool thing about CyberGatekeeper is that it supports any network infrastructure. You don't need switches with 802.1x or whatever to make it work. The mode is called "DNAC" (Dynamic NAC).
Whenever you upgrade your switches to OmniSwitch 6400, OmniSwitch 6850 or OmniSwitch 6855 you'll be able to use the even more sophisticate mode called "Host Integrity Check" where the switch denies access based on ACLs. Very smart solution and better than anything I've seen so far on the market. All other solutions have to move you to another vlan (so called quarantine vlan) where you need to get a new IP address .... (very bad user experience)

Re: NAC solutions
I was talking about this with another network/programmer guy and we saw that on some NACs they switch a persons Vlan. In order to do this the NAC would have to order the pc to acquire another IP address. We were trying to figure out how that happens. I know this has nothing to do with this forum and you can feel free to ignore this post and just read it as "thanks for the help".

Re: NAC solutions
Mark,
I wrote in my previous post that there are *better* solutions than changing the VLAN.
I recommend to have a look at the following website (which is actually a product sold through Alcatel-Lucent in partnership).

Re: NAC solutions
Hey Everyone,
Has anyone had any luck with trying Microsoft NPS and NAP with OS6850E Switches running 802.1x. I am trying to piece together a NAC solution, and it looks like I can do it with NAP, just now sure if I need to enable HIC or not.
