NAC: A solution on a shoe-string ?

mcroft — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 10:55:01 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to put forward a NAC solution for our <very> small office - around 30 users. I think NAC's a great solution to enforce a tight security policy, and I want to ensure users connecting to our Data Centre have been properly (de)wormed 🙂

I am therfore trying to justify "NAC" to my peers, BUT I will need to keep to an ultra tight budget. As far as I can see, the "minimum" NAC solution by Cisco compromises of the following four items :

1) NACMGR-3-K9: Cisco Clean Access Lite Manager for 3 servers

2) NME-NAC-K9: Cisco NAC Network Module for ISR

3) NACNM-50-K9: NAC Network Module Server License -max 50 users

4) NACMGR-3-K9: NAC Appliance 3310

Does this sound right ? Any ideas to reduce the overall cost of NAC would be appreciate. (the cost on this is around Â£12k which is not feasable for us)

can I slim this ? Help appreciated.

Thank you.

matt

Hi Matt,

You shouldn't need item number 4 - The NAC Manager Lite is an Appliance (CCA-MGR-LT-K9) and includes licensing, I'm not too familiar with the Network Modules & how the licensing works for them but that brings things to about $8,500 list.

HTH,

Denis
