Clean Access

hburkhart98 · ‎04-09-2009

My county library is asking users to download Clean Access onto our computers. I've gone to the Clean Access page (NACS) and can't seem to recognize the right program. All that I've come across want a Cisco Tech support contract, but the client agent is supposed to be free.

I am assuming you are looking for the Cisco Clean Access Agent. It can be downloaded from the following:

http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/PlatformList.x?sftType=Network+Admission+Control+(NAC)+Agent+Software&mdfid=282191985&treeName=Endpoint+Security&mdfLevel=Software%20Version/Option&url=null&modelName=Cisco+NAC+Appliance+4.5&isPlatform=N&treeMdfId=278875268&modifmdfid=null&imname=&hybrid=Y&imst=N

You will need to have a CCO account that is authorized to download. You will need some sort of support contract.

You can configure the NAC environment to require it and to provide it from the NAC Server.

It is unlikely you will need to go to Cisco to download the software needed.

When they installed the Clean Access Server it includes an option to allow download of client and/or running a web agent.

When you connect to the library's network and try to surf the web a forwarding page will likely come up and ask you to run the web agent or download the product from the page you were directed to.
