Does anyone have any scripts to automate testing NAC connectivity and functionality? We are looking for ways to get notifications when the NAC appliances fail, such as:
. CAM/CAS loss in communication . Switch/CAM loss in communication . RADIUS communication failure . General authentication failure through the java plugin . General authentication failure through the agent . Errors internally to the CAS/CAM such as service down . Threshold based login failures such as x number of unable to login within x minutes . Any others that I cannot think of These are a result of failures this week. One where DNS did not resolve the CAM correctly for to the RADIUS server, effectively preventing anyone from logging in including the ability to manage the CAM, and, one where we lost all communication to the switches, causing users to receive a message they were logged into too many locations at once. We have no idea how either happened and TAC could not give a reason for the loss in global switch communication. Maybe the two are related. We also would like to give prospective and new students the ability to check their computer's functionality with NAC prior to coming on campus. I imagine the Java plugin could be presented from the outside and redirect them to a "Congratulations" screen, but, what could we do from the posture assessment side? Any ideas on this would be welcome. Any ideas on any of the above would be very helpful!!! Thanks in advance. Ronald King Security Engineer Norfolk State University Marie V.
