A comprehensive guide detailing the implementation of 802.1X port-based Network Access Control (NAC) using RADIUS authentication and platforms like PacketFence. This solution enforces identity-based access, performs endpoint posture assessment, and dynamically assigns VLANs. It is essential for establishing zero-trust networks, meeting stringent compliance standards (PCI-DSS, HIPAA), and automating the onboarding of BYOD devices.

This guide details the deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for comprehensive Network Access Control (NAC). It utilizes 802.1X authentication, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), and posture assessment to enforce security policies. Key features include integrating with Active Directory, assigning dynamic VLANs, and applying TrustSec Security Group Tags (SGTs) for advanced network segmentation in enterprise environments.
