This week’s sneak peek of a free chapter from a Cisco Press book is an excerpt from Cisco Network Admission Control, Volume I: NAC Framework Architecture and Design, by Denise Helfrich, Lou Ronnau, Jason Frazier, and Paul Forbes.
Here’s the blurb from Cisco Press:
Cisco Network Admission Control, Volume I, describes the NAC architecture and provides an in-depth technical description for each of the solution components. This book also provides design guidelines for enforcing network admission policies and describes how to handle NAC agentless hosts. As a technical primer, this book introduces you to the NAC Framework solution components and addresses the architecture behind NAC and the protocols that it follows so you can gain a complete understanding of its operation. Sample worksheets help you gather and organize requirements for designing a NAC solution.
