Network Access Policy
Definition and the application of Network Access Policy in NetConductor solution is similar for both design options Routed-Access or Scaled-Access, with the following common features:
Consistent User Role and Policy definition in Aruba Central for wired and wireless infrastructure
Roles and policy are pre-provisioned to all network devices.
Authentication and Authorization with the NAC solution to associate User Role to endpoints (wired or wireless)
Group-Based Policy enforcement points between:
wired clients: at destination egress switch interface.
wireless clients: applied at the Mobility Gateway cluster.
wired to wireless clients: applied at the Mobility Gateway cluster.
wireless to wired clients: applied at the destination egress switch interface.
Network Access Policies with the source User Role and destination IP or application-based destination are enforced at the source switch ingress interface.
Port-Access policies (IP to IP) are enforced at the source switch ingress interface
