NAC Manager for more than 40 devices

vicente.madrigal · ‎10-15-2008

Does anybody Know if there is a way to manage more than 40 NAC Servers with the NAC Manager Appliance. According to the documentation the maximum number of devices that you can manage with a NAC Manager Appliance is 40.

I think you need to have a cluster of NAC Manager appliance to handle more than 40 devices but I cannot find any documentation that supports this type of deployment.

Regards.

There isn't a current model of Manager that can manage more that 40 devices.

You can 'cluster' Cisco NAC Managers into pairs but this for High Availibility and will not expand the number of supported systems.
