Relays credential requests and responses between the peer and the authentication (ACS) server using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Enforces network access policy on an interface based on posture validation results from the ACS server
Implements the configured EAP status query method
Supports a local exception list based on the peer operating system
Requests access policies from the ACS server for clientless hosts
