Re: Network Access Control - how do YOU do it?

Hi, Ann. What OS are you operating, i.e. Windows, Mac, both? Are you
looking to include the boarder's personal computers for NAC
functionality? In addition to subnetting, are you running a VLAN
environment which ideally isolates various networks, i.e. you could
have a boarders' network, administration, academic, etc.?

Regards,
Kory
