Re: network access

thanks
iw as also looking at cisco NAC, but with a school the budget is very
limited, but they do require very tight control of the network


my thoughtrs are to go with 802.1x unless anyone can suggest a better
method.

i was hoping for peoples views and comments as to the right direction
to take

will 802.1X do this for me or does anyone have any other suggestions

It depends on your client machines and their 802.1x supplicants.

I have the most experience with Mac OSX doing 802.1x, and you can
setup 802.1x network profiles at at user level vs. a system level,
when you set up the configuration, you choose at what level the 802.1x
connection credentials are presented and for which user logins/etc,
allowing you to have such-and-such user logging in to present
such-and-such 802.1x credentials upstream for network access.

I don't know how windows handles per-user 802.1x supplicant user credentials.

I assume there is a way to configure windows simularly with per-user
802.1x supplicant credentials.
