Quick EAD Deployment Overview

As an integrated solution, an Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD) solution can improve the
overall defense power of a network. In real applications, however, deploying EAD clients
proves to be time consuming and inconvenient.
To address the issue, the H3C S5100-SI/EI series provides the forcible deployment of EAD
clients with 802.1x authentication, easing the work of EAD client deployment.

Operation of Quick EAD Deployment

Quick EAD deployment is achieved with the two functions: restricted access and HTTP
redirection.
Restricted access
Before passing 802.1x authentication, a user is restricted (through ACLs) to a specific
range of IP addresses or a specific server. Services like EAD client upgrading/download
and dynamic address assignment are available on the specific server.
