<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Another
thing is that the client is expecting 40+ branches (expected number of
users/branch is 15 -20) in near future which will be connected via site-to-site
VPNs. Will the Inline mode + L3-mode restriction will apply in this scenario or
the above suggested model will work with exception of L3-IP Posture Assessment?
I am also thinking to proposed another NAC server for VPN/Wireless Clients in
case the suggested model does not work!</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Also what
about the Antivirus Server, I have checked the NAC partner list and Symantec,
McAfee and eTrust (these 3 are easily available in my country) are on the list
but I was unable to find any thing on either Cisco website or the partner for
integration expect some papers that discuss how they are able to help customer
with being Cisco NAC compatible! Any one have guides / links to sites or
experience.</SPAN></P>
