Does Cisco NAC support Wireless LAN?

[Ramraj Sivagnanam Sivajanam]

Hi There

I know Cisco NAC supports Wireless LAN. I have deployed this myself with various brands of Autonomous APs. These works fine only in in-band mode, not in out-of-band mode.

However, Cisco did mentioned for Cisco AP, with Cisco NAC and Cisco switches, out-of-band is supported. I tried this today, and it's either Cisco is wrong, which is highly unlikely, or I did not configure either the NAC portion or the Cisco AP correctly, which is most likely? I wonder where did I go wrong? Please somebody, advice me on this?

Regards,

Hi Ramraj,

You can do out-of-band with Wireless deployments now, however you must have a Wireless Lan Controller managing your APs. You cannot do it with standalone APs.

The guide below goes through most of the configuration:
