Network Access Protection (NAP) and my switches

  • Artikel

I recently gave an overview of NAP at a Windows Server 2008 event.  For the purposes of the event I focused and demo’d DHCP enforcement.  From some customers DHCP enforcement was not enough.  What about 802.1x enforcement ?  Our pals on the NAP team have already blogged this (quite sometime back) as an introduction to what the real world options are.  Check it out : NAP 802.1x enforcement.  I’d also point you in the direction of the Step by Step lab guide.

For a real world view of NAP in action with Cisco switches check out Michael Kleefs blog here.  When I asked about real world implementations Michael's demos where recommended.

While on the topic of NAP…. I was also asked about how much traffic does it generate.  Yet again Michael Kleef had the answers.

Update:   No sooner had I posted this (7 minutes after to be exact) Jeff Sigman (NAP guru) commented that he setup a rack with 10+ switches.  Check out his posting https://blogs.technet.com/nap/archive/2008/04/15/video-nap-world-tour-rsa-2008-san-francisco.aspx.  How is that for fast information update! :)
