Safety Information  
Class 1 Laser Transceivers  
The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers.  
Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules.  
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the  
need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser  
transceivers comply with the following safety standards:  
• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).  
• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).  
• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).  
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all  
three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.  
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the  
6  
fiber (under normal conditions) is 12.6 dBm or 55 x 10 watts.  
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum  
2  
3
2
radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm or 8 x 10 W m sr1.  
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye  
hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

Overview  
Redundant Power Supplies  
The Enterasys NAC Controller supports two fixed, autoranging redundant AC power supply  
modules. For power supply specifications, refer to “Power Supply” on page A2.  
Power Supply LANVIEW LEDs  
Power supply status is indicated by LANVIEW LEDs located on the front panel of the chassis.  
Each power supply utilizes a single LED to monitor and detect power supply failure and  
redundancy status. Refer to Chapter 2, Installation Requirements and Guidelines, for a full  
explanation of the power supply LEDs and their definitions.  
Power Supply Status Through System Management  
The Enterasys NAC Controller power supplies report information to the NAC Controller PEP  
installed in the chassis regarding their present operating status. This information includes the  
following:  
Power Supply ID (PS1, PS2)  
Power Supply Status (normal/fault)  
Power Supply Redundancy indication  
Refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFEDiamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide for instructions on  
how to access power supply status information via Local Management.  
Auto-Ranging Power Supplies  
The Enterasys NAC Controller power supplies automatically adjust to the input voltage and  
60 Hz. Refer to the operating specifications in Appendix A. No additional adjustments are  
necessary. For installations in North America, two 15 A power cords are required. Refer to  
Powering Up a Enterasys Matrix N1 Chassis” on page 35 for more details.  
Power Supply Replacement  
Power supplies in the Enterasys Matrix N1 chassis are fixed and, as such, are not considered  
If a power supply must be replaced, contact Technical Support for information (refer to “Getting  
Help” on page xviii).  
Chassis Cooling System  
The Enterasys Matrix N1 chassis backplane supports six 2wire 12v fans. General fan failure is  
detected at the chassis backplane and the status is relayed to the module using the FTM2  
connector.  
The fans have one LANVIEW LED located on the front of the unit. This LED indicates the status of  
the fans, either normal or fault condition. Since the fans are built into the chassis, there is no  
support for a ‘Fan Present’ indicator. Refer to Chapter 2, Installation Requirements and  
Guidelines, for a full description of fan LED states.  
1-6 Introduction  
           
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 48.26centimeter (19inch) equipment rack. Refer to “Site Guidelines”  
on page 21 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 policyenabled 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 users function within the organization. By  
adopting such a “userpersonalized” 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 organizations 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 users 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 users 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 policybased infrastructure, the Enterasys Secure Networks  
methodology can take advantage of authentication methods, such as 802.1X, using EAPTLS,  
EAPTTLS, or PEAP, as well as other types of authentication. Authorization information, attached  
to the authentication response, determines the application of policy. Authorization information is  
communicated via the policy name in a RADIUS FilterID attribute. An administrator can also  
define a role to be implemented in the absence of an authentication framework. Refer to the  
release notes shipped with the module for details.  
Standards Compatibility  
The NAC Controller PEPs are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.32002, 802.3ae2002,  
802.1D1998, and 802.1Q1998 standards. The NAC Controller PEP provides IEEE 802.1D1998  
Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and  
protect against “loop” conditions.  
LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs  
The NAC Controller PEP uses a builtin visual diagnostic and status monitoring system called  
LANVIEW. The LANVIEW LEDs allow quick observation of the network status to aid in  
diagnosing network problems. “LANVIEW LEDs” on page 22 for information about using the  
LEDs for troubleshooting.

NAC Controller PEP Network Requirements  
Site Guidelines  
The following guidelines must be observed when a site is selected for the  
Enterasys NAC Controller. If the guidelines are not followed, unsatisfactory network performance  
may result.  
To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating of the chassis in either the rackmounted  
or standalone configuration, there must be 5.1 centimeters (2 inches) of clearance on either  
side and in the rear of the unit.  
To install the Enterasys NAC Controller as a freestanding unit on a shelf, the shelf must be  
able to support 13.6 kilograms (30 pounds) of static weight.  
To install the Enterasys NAC Controller as a rackmounted unit, care must be taken to ensure  
that the rack used will support the unit and that the rack remains stable.  
The power supplies for the Enterasys NAC Controller require two threepronged power  
receptacles capable of delivering the current and voltage specified in “Power Supply” on  
page A2. Two ac outlets on independently fused circuits are required for each power supply,  
and must be located less than 2 meters (6 feet) from the site. The power cord used and type of  
outlet is dependent on the country. In the United States, two power cords with NEMA 515P  
plugs are provided with each power supply.  
Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 5° and 40°C  
(41° to 104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per hour.

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 802.3ad2002 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 DFEDiamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide.  
10BASE-T Network  
When connecting a 10BASET segment to any of the fixed front panel ports of the 2S408225,  
ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.32002 standard  
for 10BASET. 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. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 or Category 5  
cabling can be used. Refer to “100BASE-TX Network” on page 2-4 for information about  
100BASE-TX networks and cabling.  
100BASE-TX Network  
The fixed front panel ports of the 2S408225 provide a connection that supports Category 5 UTP  
cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.32002  
100BASETX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to  
the Cabling Guide for details.  
Note: The fixed ports of the NAC Controller PEP support Category 5 UTP cabling with an  
impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation. The NAC Controller PEP is capable  
of operating at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and can automatically sense the port speed of the other  
device and adjust its speed accordingly.  
1000BASE-T Network  
The 2S408225 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps by means of fixed RJ45 front panel connectors. These  
connections support copper wire connections that can operate up to 1000 Mbps. The device at the  
other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.32002 network requirements for the  
devices to operate at Gigabit speed.  
Note: The fixed ports of each NAC Controller PEP support Category 5 UTP cabling with an  
impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation and can automatically  
sense the port speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.  
2-4 Installation Requirements and Guidelines

(“Connecting FiberOptic Cables to MiniGBICs” on page 411).  
Note: If the NAC Controller PEP is being installed in a network using Link Aggregation, there are  
rules concerning network cables and port configurations that must be followed for Link Aggregation  
to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the Enterasys Matrix  
DFE-Diamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide for the configuration information. For details on  
how to obtain manuals, refer to the “Related Documents” on page xvi.  
Connecting UTP Cables to the 2S4082-25  
The fixed RJ45 front panel connections of the 2S408225 are 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. These ports  
have internal crossovers, and also support automaticpolarity sensing when configured for  
automaticnegotiation.  
If automaticnegotiation is not activated on a port, use a straightthrough cable when connecting a  
workstation to the port. When connecting a networking device to the port, such as a bridge,  
repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.  
If a port is set for autonegotiation, automaticpolarity sensing is also activated.  
Automaticpolarity sensing eliminates the need for a crossover cable, regardless if the connection  
is to another network device or a workstation.  
Note: All RJ45 front panel ports on the 2S4082-25 support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair  
(UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3 cable may be used if the  
connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.  
Enterasys NAC Controller Hardware Installation Guide 4-7  
             
Connecting to the Network  
Figure 45 shows connecting a twisted pair segment to the 2S408225 module. It is assumed that  
the chassis power is turned on to provide power to the module. Refer to Figure 45 and proceed as  
follows:  
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.  
2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the module by inserting the RJ45 connector on the  
twisted pair segment into the appropriate RJ45 port connector.

3. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED is ON (flashing amber,  
blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit) LED is not  
blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on:  
a. To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the GROUP  
SELECT button (see Figure 45) to step to the group of interest (Groups 1 and 2). Each  
time the GROUP SELECT button is pressed, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence,  
indicating which Group is selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of  
segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs for each segment.  
b. Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and  
111 ohms. For the port to operate at 100 or 1000 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used  
and installed properly.  
c. Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is on and properly  
connected to the segment.  
d. Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper pinouts and  
check the cable for continuity. Typically, a crossover cable is used between hub devices. A  
straightthrough cable is used to connect between switches or hub devices and an end  
user (computer). Refer to Figure 46 and Figure 47 for fourwire RJ45 connections. Refer  
to Figure 48 and Figure 49 for eightwire RJ45 connections.

Connecting to the Network  
Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to Mini-GBICs  
This section provides the procedure for connecting 1Gigabit Ethernet fiberoptic segments from  
the network or other devices to MiniGBIC MTRJ or LC port connectors installed in the 2S408225  
and 7S428019 NAC Controller PEPs.  
Each fiberoptic link consists of two fiberoptic strands within the cable: Transmit (TX) and Receive  
(RX)  
The transmit strand from a module port connects to the receive port of a fiberoptic Gigabit  
Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable MTRJ port on  
the module connects to the transmit port of the fiberoptic Gigabit Ethernet device (shown in  
Figure 410) or LC cable connector (shown in Figure 411).  
The following procedure describes how to connect an MTRJ cable (Figure 410) connector to a  
MiniGBIC port connector. This procedure also applies to an LC cable connector shown in  
(Figure 411). Refer to Figure 410 as an example and proceed as follows:  
1. Remove the protective covers (not shown) from the MTRJ fiberoptic port on the MiniGBIC  
and from the connectors on each end of the cable.  
Note: Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent  
contamination.  
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact  
with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data  
transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to  
blow the surfaces clean. A cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also  
be used to clean the ends.  
Precaución: No toque los extremos de los cables de fibra óptica y evite su contacto con el polvo,  
la suciedad o con cualquier otro contaminante. Si los extremos de los cables se ensucian, es  
posible que la transmisión de datos se vea afectada. Si nota que los extremos de los cables de  
fibra óptica se ensucian, utilice aire comprimido para limpiarlos. También puede limpiarlos con un  
estropajo embebido en alcohol isopropílico.  
2. Insert the MTRJ cable connector into the MiniGBIC until it clicks into place.  
.
Note: To remove the MT-RJ cable connector, press on its release tab and pull it out of the  
Mini-GBIC.

Connecting to COM Port for Local Management  
5. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device. Some cables may  
be terminated at the other end with two separate connectors, one for each fiberoptic strand. In  
this case, ensure that the transmit fiberoptic strand is connected to the receive port and the  
receive fiberoptic strand to the transmit port.

Troubleshooting Checklist  
Overview of the NAC Controller PEP Shutdown Procedure  
Unless otherwise noted, the following information applies to all NAC Controller PEPs.  
Using LANVIEW  
The NAC Controller PEPs use a builtin visual diagnostic and status monitoring system called  
LANVIEW. The LANVIEW LEDs (Figure 51) allow quick observation of the network status to aid  
in diagnosing network problems.  
About the Management (MGMT) LED  
The MGMT LED (shown in Figure 51) indicates that the NAC Controller PEP is serving as the  
Management Module to control the management functions for the NAC Controller PEP. The  
Management Module handles all IP requests to the chassis IP address, such as PING, Telnet,  
SNMP, and HTTP. The Management Module also handles the CLI configuration sessions by  
means of the console port.  
Viewing the Receive and Transmit Activity  
On the 2S408225 and 7S428019 NAC Controller PEPs, you can view the receive and transmit  
activity on the RX and TX LEDs. However, only one group of 12 ports may be viewed at a time.  
To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of attached segments, press the GROUP  
SELECT button (see Figure 51) to step to the group of interest (Groups 1 or 2). Each time the  
GROUP SELECT button is pressed, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which  
group is selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by  
the RX and TX LEDs for each port.

Overview of the NAC Controller PEP Shutdown Procedure  
Caution: Do not remove a NAC Controller PEP from an operating chassis system before reading  
the following information and instructions.  
Precaución: Antes de retirar los módulos DFE del chasis en funcionamiento, lea las siguientes  
instrucciones y la información suministrada.  
The chassis must shut down in an orderly fashion to ensure that the other devices on the network  
are notified of the impending change. The devices can then make intelligent decisions and  
stabilize the network before the change is made; thereby increasing network availability.  
You can shut down a NAC Controller PEP in an operating N1 Chassis using the OFFLINE/RESET

Overview of the NAC Controller PEP Shutdown Procedure  
Recommended Shutdown Procedure  
Caution: Do not remove a NAC Controller PEP from an operating chassis system before reading  
the following information and instructions.  
Precaución: Antes de retirar los módulos DFE del chasis en funcionamiento, lea las siguientes  
instrucciones y la información suministrada.  
Before pulling a NAC Controller PEP out of a chassis,  
press or tap on its OFFLINE/RESET switch for less than 1 second.  
Its CPU LED changes from solid green to blinking between green and amber, indicating that the  
module is shutting down. At the end of the shutdown routine, the CPU LED changes to a  
67%/33% sequence of amber/off, respectively, indicating the module is in a halt state. In this time it  
is safe to restart or remove the module from the chassis.  
When a controlled shutdown is initiated from the OFFLINE/RESET switch, you have 60 seconds  
from the time the CPU starts alternately flashing amber/off until the device automatically restarts.  
Note: The only safe time to pull a chassis out of the chassis is when the CPU LED is alternately  
flashing amber/off. Otherwise, system operation will be interrupted.  
Last Resort Shutdown Procedure  
Caution: This method of shutting down a NAC Controller PEP is not recommended except as a last  
resort, because all processes currently running on the module will be interrupted resulting in loss of  
frames.  
Precaución: No se recomienda utilizar este método para apagar los módulos DFE. Recurra a él  
sólo como último recurso, puesto que interrumpe todos los procesos del módulo en  
funcionamiento, lo que podría resultar pérdidas de frames.  
To reset a NAC Controller PEP without it performing an orderly shutdown routine,  
press and hold the OFFLINE/RESET switch for approximately 6 seconds.  
Pulling any NAC Controller PEP out of the chassis before it has been shut down is not  
recommended. The only safe time to pull a module out of the chassis is after the completion of a  
shutdown and the management LED is alternately flashing amber/off.

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: inband management or outofband management. For  
the inband management configuration, all management traffic sourced from the NAC Controller  
is generated onto the data VLAN along with end system traffic that is traversing the appliance.  
For the outofband management configuration, all management traffic sourced from the NAC  
Controller is generated on a different VLAN than the end system traffic. More details about these  
management configurations as related to required settings of adjacent network infrastructure  
devices are explained below. Either the inband or outofband management configuration is  
supported for the Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) NAC Controller. Therefore, one of the following  
configurations must be selected as the installation type during the intialization of the NAC  
Controller:  
Layer 2 NAC Controller with InBand Management  
Layer 2 NAC Controller with OutOfBand Management  
Layer 3 NAC Controller with InBand Management  
Layer 3 NAC Controller with OutOfBand Management  
Note: The NAC Controller software initialization will take place within a single discussion.  
Unless otherwise specified, the content of the discussion applies to all four installation  
types.  
Enterasys NAC Controller Hardware Installation Guide 6-1  
     
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  
OutOfBand management configuration, as explained below. See Figure 61 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.  
Figure 63 through Figure 66 display the configuration topologies for the four NAC Controller  
installation types. In each case, upstream ports on the NAC Controller connect to the network core  
in the direction of where the NetSight management server connects to the network, although it is  
not necessary to connect the NetSight management server upstream from the NAC Controller.  
Downstream ports on the NAC Controller connect to the network edge where end systems are  
connecting.  
6-2 Initializing the NAC Controller  
 
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 62. For Layer 3 NAC  
Controller configuration, all data traffic (nonmanagement 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 inband or outofband 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 InBand management:  
Two IP addresses are assigned to the NAC Controller when configured for inband  
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.  
A remediation web server IP address is not required. The remediation web server is run  
off of the management IP address of the NAC Controller Engine.  
All directly connected management and router IP addresses on this subnet must be  
specified during the setup process in order to establish IP connectivity into the topology.  
See Figure 65 on page 65 for a diagram on layer 3 InBand management. See Figure 63 on  
page 64 for a diagram on layer 2 InBand management.  
When using OutOfBand management:  
Three IP addresses are assigned to the Layer 3 NAC Controller when configured for  
outofband management; a management IP address and remediation IP address for the  
NAC Controller Engine and a management IP address for the NAC Controller PEP.  
Enterasys NAC Controller Hardware Installation Guide 6-3  
   
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 64 on page 65 for a diagram of layer 2 OutOfBand management and Figure 66 on

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 crossover  
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 OutOfBand  
management configurations, you entered a management VLAN for this NAC Controller. For  
OutOfBand configurations, this management VLAN entered during initialization is pushed  
down to the PEP.  
For InBand 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 623. 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  
determined changes that may be required, reference the DFEPlatinum and Diamond Series  
Configuration Guide for information pertaining to VLAN configuration.  
NAC Controllers Require Separate Domains  
The NAC Controller can be configured in one of two modes of operation: L2 or L3. The mode of  
operation controls how connecting end systems are detected by the NAC Controller on the  
network and is selected based on where the NAC Controller is positioned in the network in  
relation to these end systems. If the NAC Controller is positioned before the first routed boundary  
for connecting end systems closer to the access edge of the network, the L2 NAC Controller mode  
is utilized. If the NAC Controller is positioned after the first routed boundary deeper inside the  
network, the L3 NAC Controller mode is utilized.  
6-16 Initializing the NAC Controller  
       
The NAC Controller Policy Configuration  
See Figure 624 to help visualize how you would determine the NAC Controller mode of  
operation. Starting at the enduser 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.  
Because the two NAC Controllers shown in Figure 624 are of different operational modes, they  
must each belong to a separate policy domain from each other as well as any other switch in the  
network.  
Assure that all NAC Controllers of the same operational mode are in a policy domain not shared  
with any NAC Controller of a different operational mode or any nonNAC Controller switch type.  
Enterasys NAC Controller Hardware Installation Guide 6-17  
 
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 616,  
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.  
1. 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 625  
Check the Class of Services box as shown and 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.

The location on the main board of the mode switches for both the 2S408225 and the 7S428019 are  
the same. Figure B1 shows the location of the mode switches and the switch settings for normal  
operation. These switches are set at the factory to the off position and rarely need to be changed.  
Switch definitions and positions are as follows:  
Switches 1 through 6 – For Enterasys Networks use only.  
Switch 7 – Clear Persistent Data. Changing the position of this switch clears Persistent Data on  
the next powerup of the module. All userentered parameters, such as the IP address or

module names, are reset to the factory default settings. Once the module resets, you can either  
use the factory default settings or reenter your own parameters.  
Switch 8 – Clear Admin Password. Changing the position of this switch clears the admin  
password, and restores the factory default password on the next powerup of the module.  
Once the module resets, you can either use the factory default settings or reenter your own  
password.  
Note: Do not change the position of Switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the admin password to  
its factory default setting.
