VoIP — automatic access for VoIP traffic. The network access device places
VoIP calls in a VoIP VLAN without submitting them to the Nortel
SNAS 4050 authentication and authorization process.
VoIP calls in a VoIP VLAN without submitting them to the Nortel
SNAS 4050 authentication and authorization process.
When a client attempts to connect to the network, the network access device
places the client in its Red VLAN. The Nortel SNAS 4050 authenticates the client
and then downloads a TunnelGuard applet to check the integrity of the client host.
If the integrity check fails, the Nortel SNAS 4050 instructs the network access
device to move the client to a Yellow VLAN, with its associated filter. If the
integrity check succeeds, the Nortel SNAS 4050 instructs the network access
device to move the client to a Green VLAN, with its associated filter. The network
access device applies the filters when it changes the port membership.
