Summary
2-16 NAC Deployment Models
Summary
Enterasys supports all of the five key NAC functions: detection, authentication, assessment,
authorization, and remediation. However, not all five functions need to be implemented
concurrently in a NAC deployment to derive value from the solution. The four NAC deployment
models each yield unique value propositions to the IT personnel managing the network, and
provide a logical progression to deploying the full Enterasys NAC solution.
The following table summarizes the value and features of each deployment model.
