NAC and BBSM access code management

[albert_coll]

Hello,

An organization has a network infrastructure in which a BBSM generates access codes for limited authorized time periods to allow Internet web access to wireless guests. If a guest exhausts the period he must request a new access code.

Now, if a Clean Access Server is deployed for admission control, a possible option could be to bypass posture assessment for those guest users and leave the the BBSM operation unchanged: with access code management for control and accountability purposes.

My doubt is if i could deploy some access code management capabilities in the NAC appliance, in order to move to it the access code mgmt functionality from the BBSM.

I would really appreciate any comment about that.

Thanks in advance.

Scrap that BBSM. You should be able to provide guest access w/ NAC. checkout this link
