RE: NAC placement

If you do not require the NAC to filter traffic, then OOB would be preferred
because of the throughput limitation depending on the amount of traffic
potentially going through it.

There are many factors in a NAC deployment and if you ask 15 people, you
will get 15 different answers. It comes down to customer requirements and
personal choice.

Subject: NAC placement

Hi all

I need advice regarding placement of NAC in a campus network consisting of
core , distribution, L3 Access switches & Server Farm switches (connected
via
10G links) with wired & wireless Users.

Should i place it inline between Core Switch & Internet Firewall or should i
connect it on core in out of band.

Advice would be highly appreciable.

Regards
Atif
