Yes, ACS is required as AAA server in the NAC framework.

When you are using the NAC appliance you also have the option of using the local database for authentication.

This is recommended for smaller implementations only as it doesn't scale as well as using a AAA with the NAC appliance.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes, definitely we need an AAA server (ACS) for validate the request by the NAC appliance.
