ACS scaling

[ian.selkirk]

Hi,

I am struggling to find any figures on how ACS will scale in CCO documentation.

The ACS solution would be expected to support the following:

An 802.1x environment that will consist of up to 1000 users (80% MD5, 20% EAP). The intention would be to use the RADIUS function with an external Active Directory DB

In addition to the 802.1x environment I would intend to use the same ACS solution to provide TACACS+ for a small (80 device) network with 10 concurrent support users max.

Can anyone provide a link to the scaling factors or give me an example of ACS in a similar environment?

Thanks in advance.

Try the following document. It is primarily for Aironet installations, but the overall concept and authentication rates apply to switches as well:
