We use bradford with HP procurve switches without any issues, if that
helps.

Randy,

Southwestern Community College is in the process of deploying Bradford's
Network Sentry (Campus Manager) solution in this type of environment.
I'm not sure what they have for 3com switches.  I used it briefly on
some of the old 3com 630's we had, but we have since upgraded those to
Procurve.

Subject: [SECURITY] 3COM switches and NAC

We have several members who have extensive 3COM switch deployments and
are beginning to consider NAC-type products. Last time I managed a VLAN
on a 3COM was a couple of years ago, but it seemed very convoluted and I
didn't know if they played well in that environment.  Has anyone
deployed any NAC systems that use dynamic VLAN assignment using 3COM
switches? 

Thanks.
