NAC deployment vs ACS

sonacolombia

I have a customer who wants a NAC deployment. We are considering a
NAC3355-1500FB-K9
and a
NACMGR-STDFB-K9


Do we need a cisco ACS solution in order to make this work?
If the customer has Cisco switches we couls implement in band or out of band solution right? if the customer does NOT have cisco switches we could only implement in line deployment right?

Do you know what extra benefits takes the NAC over the ACS or just the ACS would be enough?

Thanx

Jose

Jose,

You are right. You don't need ACS for NAC.

With Cisco switches you can do OOB and IB. Without, you can do IB.

Without the CCA servers, you can't do NAC, but can do Dot1x with ACS and Cisco switches (possibly with others too, but Cisco switches tested only)

HTH,

Faisal
