Introduction
ProCurve Network Access Controller
800
The ProCurve Network Access Controller 800 (ProCurve NAC 800) provides
a complete solution for managing network access at the network edge. When
used with the ProCurve Manager (PCM) and ProCurve Identity Driven
Manager (IDM) products, you get a single, centralized network management
tool, that lets you secure your network from unauthorized access.
The ProCurve Network Access Controller is comprised of:
• A Linux-based server, with FreeRADIUS software
• Pro
Curve Identity Driven Manager (IDM) Agent
• ProCurve Network Access Control Endpoint Integrity software
Note Two additional items are required to enable endpoint integrity functionality:
• A ProCurve NAC Endpoint Integrity Agent License
• A P
roCurve NAC Implementation Start-up Service, from an autho-
rized ProCurve partner or ProCurve.
This configuration allows you to deploy the appliance in any of the following
methods, to meet
your network security needs:
• As a complete access control solution, i
ncluding a RADIUS server,
with Endpoint Integrity (EI) enforcement, and IDM agent for use with
the PCM and IDM applications
• As a RADIUS server and Endpoint Integrity solution, independent of
PCM and IDM applications.
• As a RADIUS server with the IDM Agent, to provide user authentica-
tion and user-based access control to network resources
• As a standalone RADIUS server, using the LINUX-based freeRADIUS
software pre-installed on the appliance.
