6 NAC Policies
NAC policies determine the network access control status for endpoints. When an endpoint attempts a
network connection, its attributes such as IP address, MAC address, or NetBIOS name are compared
against the endpoints specified in each NAC policy until it matches a policy. The matching NAC policy
determines whether the endpoint should be granted network access or quarantined. If the endpoint
does not match any NAC policy, the default policy determines the endpoint's access control status.
NOTE
The default NAC policy is indicated by the check mark on the icon to the left of the NAC policy name. See
"Selecting the Default NAC Policy" on page 206 for instructions on selecting and charging the default NAC policy.
The NAC policies window (shown in Figure 119) is where you create NAC policies and groups, disable
NAC policies, delete NAC policies, and access specific NAC policies.
