Talk:Cisco NAC Appliance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm thinking that the title should be changed from the current "Clean access agent" to "Clean Access Agent" (caps on the first letter of each word) so as to bring this entry in-line with the (apparent) wikipedia formatting. Still being relatively new to wikipedia editing, I don't see that I can make such a change myslef (but I may just be missing it). -7/17/06 Thorprime

As the article cites it is quite common in university and corporate environments, I would like to see examples cited of universities that have this in place (even though U. Miami is linked to in the references section). 70.169.13.71 20:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

It was recently put into affect at the University of Louisville--this fact I disdain. I've never hated using Windows more in my life.

[edit] Advert-speak?

"helps ensure a secure and clean network environment" .. This sounds like it came directly from cisco's mouth. The appliance forces clients to run antivirus software and windows update- that does not make for a "clean" network environment, whatever that means. A clean network environment is the standardized handshake and direct connection to the internet. That's clean. What's not clean is forcing clients to run some proprietary, closed-source software just to connect to the network when their OS and computer are already perfectly networking-capable. It goes against all ideas of encapsulation and modular design, and while IT departments might be forced to resort to it because of user complaints about the amount of traffic on the network consumed by viruses spreading themselves or whatever (seems hard to believe..) they have to know that it makes their "network environment" no more secure whatsoever than before, it just forces clients to take care of themselves (which is none of the network's business). At least add a criticisms section- quote me directly! Public Domain'd. Take it. --froth^t 22:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
