Hi all,
Im looking at labbing up a NAP environment with a 2008 R2 windows environment and a cisco 2950 switch.
I have configured up all of the windows side - but am having a bit of trouble with the switch config... so
1) I just grabbed a 802.1x capable switch from a mate for the purposes of this lab. But is there anymore i need to check. The cisco site seems to suggest that a 2905 wont work for NAC integration - but i only want NAP. Firmware version 12.1(22)EA9.
I found this - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2950/software/release/12.1_22_ea11/release/notes/OL14991.html#wp999587 which seems to indicate the EI firmware is required - but then i also found this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverNAP/thread/bc8d2a11-1899-42d7-b2d9-0fed8f825347/ that refutes that - can anyone help with a definitive answer ?
2) I've had a look at a bucket-load of blog entries and looked at kleefys blog entry/cast at (http://blogs.technet.com/mkleef/archive/2007/09/03/network-access-protection-with-cisco-switches-blogcast.aspx) - this has an example cisco switch config - but, to be brutally honest, i have no idea what commands to enter to actually get that configuration going - as i've never done much more than use the web interfaces on switches (hey, thats what the network teams are for!). Could anyone be kind enough to help out with a basic run through - i get what most of the commands are doing in kleefy's example config - i just dont know how to get them in there! (and cisco'ese seems to be an alien language)
Thanks in advance.
