features are supported by the Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series, Release
5.0.2 and later.

The Nortel SNAS
Nortel Secure Network Access Solution (Nortel SNAS ) is a protective
framework to completely secure the network from endpoint vulnerability.
The Nortel SNAS addresses endpoint security and enforces policy
compliance. Nortel SNAS delivers endpoint security by enabling only
trusted, role-based access privileges premised on the security level of the
device, user identity, and session context. Nortel SNAS enforces policy
compliance, such as for Sarbanes-Oxley and COBIT, ensuring that the
required anti-virus applications or software patches are installed before
users are granted network access.
For Nortel, success is delivering technologies providing secure access
to your information using security-compliant systems. Your success
is measured by increased employee productivity and lower network
operations costs. Nortel’s solutions provide your organization with the
network intelligence required for success.
