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
