Cisco Security Agent (CSA) and CTA (NAC)

[k.hertenstein]

I read that since CSA version 4.5 it is possible to apply policies based on system states. For this CSA policies can use information from the Cisco Trust Agent as a ‘state’ element.

My question is now: What do I have to install additionally to the CSA Agent? Only the CTA or the whole NAC environment (CTA + Network Access Device + Cisco Secure ACS)???

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Best Regards

Karl - yes you need to install the who suite. If not NAC can't establish state, so CSA has no state information to evaluate before enforcing it's policies.

sorry that should say "whole" suite.....
