Group,

According to DocCD:

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SED and later, the switch supports the Network
Admission Control (NAC) Layer 2 IEEE 802.1x validation, which checks the
antivirus condition or posture of endpoint systems or clients before
granting the devices network access

But looking at how to configure it:

This example shows how to configure NAC Layer 2 IEEE 802.1x validation:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# dot1x reauthentication
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout reauth-period server

This example puzzles me very much: where does it mention any NAC and any
antivirus feature?

It is just reauthentication and timeout..

 

Any idea..

 

Luca.
