RE: NAC solutions

["James Jelinek" <jjelinek () hcec com>]

We're in a similar position as Andi.  Looking for a NAC/IDS solution for
our network of 100 workstations, 7 subnets (long story), and multiple ACL
nightmares.  I'm looking into Packetfence as well since it will supposedly
work with the HP Procurve switches we have.  It will only shut ports with
these switches, it won't do any layer-3 blackholing/etc.

Definitely worth a look.

I'd like to check out Bradford, what is the average cost?  Or is that an
arbitrary question?

We have the Bradford Networks solution running and it is SLICK!  Control
right down to the switch level and not dependent on MAC addresses.  The
system its self will work on wireless, and wired, and will work with
pretty
much any managed switch.  Downside is it is a tad bit pricy.  You will
have
to have a fairly large network to justify the cost.

I'm about to do some investigating in to NAC solutions for our network.
Is
there a good list of solutions with pros and cons around?  The main one
that
is grabbing my eye at the moment is PacketFence due to the open source
nature and seemingly large flexibility of the product.

I'm looking at a network integrated solution, rather than one that would
need endpoint client installation, and it would need to work seamlessly
with
our Cisco infrastructure.

Cheers,
Andi
