Secure Networks Policy Support Standalone or Rack Mountable Chassis The Enterasys NAC Controller can be installed as a freestanding unit on a shelf or table. It can also be mounted into a standard 48.26‐centimeter (19‐inch) equipment rack. Refer to “Site Guidelines” on page 2‐1 for requirements on ventilation and cooling. Secure Networks Policy Support A fundamental concept that is key to the implementation of the Enterasys Secure Networks methodology is policy‐enabled networking. This approach provides users of the network with the resources they need ‐ in a secure fashion – while at the same time denying access to applications or protocols that are deemed inappropriate based on the user’s function within the organization. By adopting such a “user‐personalized” model, it is possible for business policies to be the guidelines in establishing the technology architecture of the enterprise. Two major objectives are achieved in this way: IT services are matched appropriately with individual users; and the network itself becomes an active participant in the organization’s security strategy. The Secure Networks architecture consists of three tiers: • Classification rules make up the first or bottom tier. The rules apply to devices in the Secure Networks environment, such as switches and routers. The rules are designed to be implemented at or near the user’s point of entry to the network. Rules may be written based on criteria defined in the Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 4 information of the data frame. • The middle tier is Services, which are collections of individual classification rules, grouped logically to either permit or deny access to protocols or applications based on the user’s role within the organization. Priority and bandwidth rate limiting may also be defined in services. • Roles, or behavioral profiles, make up the top tier. The roles assign services to various business functions or departments, such as executive, sales, and engineering. To enhance security and deliver a true policy‐based infrastructure, the Enterasys Secure Networks ...

NAC Controller PEP Network Requirements Link Aggregation Link Aggregation is a method of grouping multiple physical ports on a network device into one logical link according to the IEEE 802.3ad‐2002 standard. Because Link Aggregation is standards based, it allows for automatic configuration with manual overrides (if applicable), and can operate on 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps Ethernet full duplex ports. Thus the network administrator can combine a group of five 100 Mbps ports into a logical link (trunk) that functions as a single 500 Mbps port. As long as the NAC Controller PEPs agree on which ports are in the trunk, there are no problems with looping, and the Spanning Tree can treat this trunk as a single port. In normal usage (and typical implementations) there is no need to enable/disable ports for Link Aggregation. The default values will result in the maximum number of aggregations possible. If the switch is placed in a configuration with its peers not running the protocol, no aggregations will be formed and the NAC Controller PEPs will function normally (that is, Spanning Tree will block redundant paths). For details about the commands involved with configuring the Link Aggregation function, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Diamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide. 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any of the fixed front panel ports of the 2S4082‐25, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details. Note: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3 cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications.
NAC Controller PEP Network Requirements 1000BASE-SX/LX/ELX Network The optional Mini‐GBICs on the 2S4082‐25 provide a Gigabit Ethernet connection to the NAC Controller Engine to provide fiber‐optic connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Other Mini‐GBICs may support different types of cabling connections. The device at the other end of the fiber‐optic connection must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 Gigabit Ethernet requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed. Refer to Appendix A for further details on Mini‐GBIC specifications. The optional Mini‐GBICs installed in the 7S4280‐19 front‐panel ports 1 through 18 or the 2 ports on the NAC Controller Engine, provide fiber‐optic connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Other Mini‐GBICs may support different types of cabling connections. The device at the other end of the fiber‐optic connection must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 Gigabit Ethernet requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed.

Overview General Management Considerations Preparation for NAC Controller Initialization The NAC Controller Initialization Procedure The NAC Controller Policy Configuration 6-16 Overview The NAC Controller is composed of two subcompents, the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) and the Engine. Each component has an IP address, and the components are managed jointly in the operation of the NAC Controller on the network. When configuring the NAC Controller for IP connectivity in the network topology, it is important to consider both the NAC Controller PEP and NAC Controller Engine as described below. Two management configurations for the NAC Controller are supported depending on the management topology of your network: in‐band management or out‐of‐band management. For the in‐band management configuration, all management traffic sourced from the NAC Controller ...
Page 70
Overview The ports located in the lower rows of the NAC Controller are referred to as ʺdownstream ports,ʺ and connect downlink to infrastructure devices such as access layer switches in the network. The two gigabit Ethernet ports located at the top of the NAC Controller are referred to as ʺupstream ports,ʺ and connect uplink to upstream devices such as core routers. The 10/100 Ethernet port located at the top of the NAC Controller supports management functionality with an Out‐Of‐Band management configuration, as explained below. See Figure 6‐1 for the location of the different NAC Controller port types. It is important to note that the NAC Controller appliance transparently bridges packets at layer 2 from downstream ports to upstream ports, downstream ports to other downstream ports, upstream ports to downstream ports, and upstream port to other upstream ports. Therefore, it is not necessary to have a 1:1 downstream port to upstream port configuration on the NAC Controller. Furthermore, the traffic enforcement point on the NAC Controller is implemented as traffic ingressed the downstream ports per MAC address or IP address before the traffic is bridged through the NAC Controller to any other port. As a result of traffic sourced from an end system being appropriately filtered (for example: forwarded, discarded, contained to a VLAN, or prioritized) upon ingress to the NAC Controller port before it is bridged, the flow of traffic from each downstream end system is securely controlled to all other devices connected to other upstream and downstream ports on the NAC Controller. Figure 6-1 NAC Controller Ports Note: Figure 6-1 displays a 2S4082-25-SYS, but NAC Controller ports are in the same location on both systems.
General Management Considerations General Management Considerations The following are general NAC Controller management configuration considerations: • The Layer 3 NAC Controller is positioned inbetween two routers on the network. Only one VLAN/subnet spans between these routers as shown in Figure 6‐2. For Layer 3 NAC Controller configuration, all data traffic (non‐management traffic) traversing the NAC Controller between the upstream router and the downstream router must be untagged. The reason for this is that the NAC Controller does not preserve VLAN tagging for data traffic traversing the appliance, regardless of whether in‐band or out‐of‐band management is configured. The upstream and downstream routers must be configured with routed interfaces for this VLAN/subnet as shown below with IP addresses 20.20.20.2/24 and 20 20 20.1/24. Figure 6-2 Layer 3 NAC Controller Positioning • When using In‐Band management: – Two IP addresses are assigned to the NAC Controller when configured for in‐band management; a management IP address for the NAC Controller Engine and a management IP address for the NAC Controller PEP. – The NAC Controller Engine IP address and NAC Controller PEP IP addresses, masks, and gateway must be part of the same subnet that spans the upstream and downstream routers. – No management VLAN ID is required. All management traffic sourced from the NAC Controller Engine and NAC Controller PEP egresses the upstream and downstream ports of the NAC Controller untagged onto the VLAN that spans the two routers, show as shown below. –...
General Management Considerations – The NAC Controller Engine management IP address is used for management traffic generated from the NAC Controller Engine, and the NAC Controller Engine remediation IP address used to run the remediation web server. – The NAC Controller Engine remediation IP address, mask, and default gateway must belong to the subnet that spans the downstream and upstream routers. – The NAC Controller Engine management IP address along with a mask is assigned to the 10/100 Ethernet port. Therefore, the 10/100 Ethernet port must be connected into the topology with a separate physical link onto the management VLAN. No default gateway is assigned to the management IP address. – The NAC Controller Engine management IP address and NAC Controller PEP IP addresses, masks, and gateway must be part of the same subnet, and not on the subnet that spans the upstream and downstream routers which carries data traffic. – A management VLAN ID must be specified. All management traffic sourced from the NAC Controller PEP egresses the upstream and downstream ports of the NAC Controller tagged to the management VLAN. Therefore, the upstream and downstream routers must be configured to 802.1Q VLAN trunk the management VLAN to the NAC Controller. – The NetSight management server IP address should be configured on the same subnet as the NAC Controller Engine and NAC Controller PEP IP addresses. Otherwise, management traffic sourced from the NAC Controller Engine and NAC Controller PEP will traverse the data VLAN on the way to the NetSight management server. See Figure 6‐4 on page 6‐5 for a diagram of layer 2 Out‐Of‐Band management and Figure 6‐6 on page 6‐6 for a diagram of layer 3 Out‐Of‐Band management Figure 6-3 Layer 2 In-Band Management Topology 6-4 Initializing the NAC Controller...
Preparation for NAC Controller Initialization Figure 6-6 Layer 3 Out-Of-Band Management Preparation for NAC Controller Initialization Before starting the NAC Controller initialization: • Setup a PC capable of SSH. PuTTY, an SSH client, can be used on a machine running Microsoft Windows for SSH. PuTTY can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html. • Connect the PC to the NAC Controller Engine 10/100 port with the supplied cross‐over capable. • Open an SSH session to the NAC Controller Engine. The default static private IP address is 169.254.1.1, so the PC must be configured appropriately with an IP address on the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet. The IP address 169.254.2.1 must not be used. • For a Layer 3 NAC Controller, connect the downlink port into the network topology on the VLAN spanning the two routers where the NAC Controller will be deployed inline, but do not connect in the uplink port yet, so the NAC Controller has connection into the network but not placed inline with network traffic. Otherwise, make note of all MAC addresses associated to all directly connected router interfaces where the NAC Controller will be positioned. Note: Should you need to reinitialize a NAC Controller that has already been initialized, perform a clear config all on the PEP to assure a default configuration when performing an initialization of the NAC Controller.

The NAC Controller Policy Configuration The NAC Controller Policy Configuration Review the following considerations prior to configuring policy on NAC Controller PEP devices: Setup the VLAN Configurations NAC Controller PEP VLAN configuration must conform with the requirements of your network topology. During NAC Controller Engine management initialization for Out‐Of‐Band management configurations, you entered a management VLAN for this NAC Controller. For Out‐Of‐Band configurations, this management VLAN entered during initialization is pushed down to the PEP. For In‐Band management, the NAC Controller management VLANs are configured. The management VLANS are VLAN 1 for L2 and VLAN 90 for L3. There are also a number of VLANs configured such as 3056 for Port Mirroring or 3089 for Quarantine. It is important that you note these defaults and determine if they are desirable or in conflict with VLANs already present in your network. To display current VLAN settings and make any changes to VLAN configurations provide a console connection to the NAC Controller PEP host.0.1. For L2 access to the CLI for NAC Controller PEP configuration, connect the console to the NAC Controller PEP COM port. The COM port location is shown in Figure 6‐23. The NAC Controller PEP CLI prompt will display. Figure 6-23 NAC Controller PEP COM Port Location Use the show port vlan host.0.1 command to display the current VLAN configuratin for this NAC Controller PEP. Use the show vlan command to display all configured VLANs. Once you have ...
The NAC Controller Policy Configuration See Figure 6‐24 to help visualize how you would determine the NAC Controller mode of operation. Starting at the end‐user and moving up stream, the position of the first NAC Controller is downstream of the first router in its path. This NAC Controller functions in L2 operations mode. Continuing to move upstream past the router, the next NAC Controller is upstream of the first router in its path. This NAC Controller functions in L3 operations mode. Figure 6-24 Determining NAC Controller Mode of Operation NAC Controllers of the same mode of operation must by assigned to their own unique policy domain. For example, you can have multiple L2 NAC Controllers in one domain and multiple L3 NAC Controllers in another domain, but you canʹt combine L2 and L3 NAC Controllers in the same domain. Note: NAC Controllers can not share the same policy domain with any other non-NAC Controller switch type.
The NAC Controller Policy Configuration Modifying NAC Controllers Preconfigured Policy NAC Controllers are shipped with a default policy configuration already configured on the device. To modify this default policy configuration, you must create a domain for the NAC Controller as discussed in section “NAC Controllers Require Separate Domains” on page 6‐16, assign the NAC Controller to the domain, then import the policy configuration from the device into Policy Manager. You can then modify the policy configuration and enforce it back to the NAC Controller. To begin the process of importing the policy configuration from the device into the policy manager, open the policy manager and select File > Import > Policy Configuration from Device. The Import From Device wizard displays as shown in Figure 6‐25 Check the Class of Services box as shown and click the Next button to proceed. Figure 6-25 Import From Device Wizard The select devices window will display. Add the NAC devices you wish to import policy from to the right hand window. Click the Next button to proceed.

The NAC Controller Policy Configuration Modifying the Downstream Default Policy Depending on the network configuration or circumstances, itʹs possible that traffic from the upstream side could be rerouted to the NAC Controller, where it would be authenticated using the upstream source IP address. To avoid this problem, add a Layer 3 IP Address Source rule to the downstream default policy configured on the NAC Controller, using the upstream IP subnets (or critical servers located in the upstream) and containing the traffic to a VLAN.
