Gaurav,

There are a few reasons why we decided to remove this completely.  In no pa=
rticular order:

The NAC is simply unnecessary given other tools that are available.  This a=
ppliance was purchased primary due to the Blaster virus outbreak.  Since th=
at time, operating systems are much more secure by default, users are more =
educated about Internet risks (if only marginally), and the attack vector h=
as changed.  The purpose of the NAC truly is to protect the /network infras=
tructure/ and /the institution/, not necessarily the student.  The fact tha=
t a student has updated virus definitions is a side effect of the strategy =
employed to protect the network.  I don't want to give the impression that =
I don't want my students to be protected from virus threats, but I see my c=
harter as providing good advice, and then allowing them to make their own m=
istakes (so long as it does not put my equipment at risk).

I am the first network specialist at this institution, and I have a large m=
ess to clean up....over the years, the network here wasn't so much "designe=
d" as it was "grown".  Without going into too much detail, I am in the midd=
le of a top-to-bottom re-engineering.  The NAC is installed on the 'legacy'=
 network, but I need a solution for our new network while I build it out.  =
I can homebrew our 802.1X/RADIUS/DVA just as easily as I could reconfigure =
the NAC for the new environment, but what would I do in the meantime?  I st=
ill need to manage both networks.

I need(/desire) to deploy 802.1X/RADIUS anyway for wireless and VPN access.=
  Adding DVA and a client registration portal is low-hanging fruit.  I'm ex=
cited about the synergy with so many systems running on the same (open) ser=
vers, with one management interface.

The user experience with the NAC is abysmal.  We hired a new CIO right abou=
t the time that I started, and the reports that he heard from students as w=
ell as his own experience with the NAC resulted in his mandating that somet=
hing be done with it.  He doesn't like the client software required, as dow=
nloading, installing, and running it proves troublesome for many of our stu=
dents.  It fails classification more often than we would like.  I don't lik=
e the client software much either.

The management experience (at least that we experience here) is abysmal.  T=
he web interface leaves many things to be desired, not the least of which i=
s a UI design that was.....I think 'designed' is the word I am looking for.=
  It is awful.  The number of screens it takes to get to the port managemen=
t view is outrageous.  This is exacerbated by the fact that we manually fli=
p VLANs more than we should have to.  Our ports get stuck in incorrect VLAN=
s sometimes, which is probably caused by the fact that the infrastructure m=
anagement paradigm is backwards.  That isn't Bradford's fault.  Our switche=
s are so ancient that they cannot poll the controller for dynamic port conf=
iguration, so instead the controller logs into switches individually and re=
configures ports as events are triggered.  Icky.  Obviously these switches =
are being replaced to support the new system.

Our NAC isn't EOL yet, but that day is near.  When we started thinking abou=
t replacing this device, we talked with Impulse Point about their product. =
 The cost was ~$30,000 for the client policy enforcement, plus some new har=
dware that we needed.  The problem was, their product as spec'ed only enfor=
ces policies on the clients:  who has what antivirus, make sure they don't =
have P2P software installed, etc. etc.  It didn't have any way of doing dyn=
amic VLAN assignment.  Anyway, I was told that it is easy to build their sy=
stem on top of an 802.1X/RADIUS/DVA infrastructure.  .....   After building=
 the same deployment that I had proposed, pay and additional $30,000 to enf=
orce client policies, despite my stated belief that it is unnecessary? Than=
ks, but no.  This experience ended our desire to look at other vendors.

Jordan,

If I may ask, why are you getting rid of the Bradford NAC?
