Anybody know the Roadmap for combining NAC Agent and Cisco AnyConnect?

[JIM JESCHKE]

Heard a rumor that Cisco is going to combine the functionality of the NAC Agent and Cisco AnyConnect as far as being an 802.1x supplicant, does anyone have any information about this?  Like is it true and if so, any idea when it will happen?

Hi ,

There is no comitted plan for NAC and Anyconnect  integration. But Anyconnect now comes with a module called NAM ( network access module) which can do dot1x as well.

Here is the link for that :

Thanks

Hi,

We are already using AnyConnect for SSL VPN, and we are currently evaluating ISE. It would be nice if we could leverage our AnyConnect clients as supplicants for the ISE solution (as opposed to loading both the NAC Agent & AnyConnect NAM).  Thank you for your response.
