IPexpert Section 12: NAC

I spent the day working on Ipexperts Section 16: Multiprotocol Challenge Lab.  I’m having a tough time making it through the entire lab because of distractions.  Work, Kids, Travel.  Today I decided to grab up another session after my original session ended and work on a different lab.  I still have time left but its 11pm, ive been up since 5, and I can’t focus anymore.  I ended up working on NAC.

Here are my notes so far:

  • Basic Configuration of the VPN concentrator from the CLI and Graphical Interface:  Nothing too tough here.  I was able to complete this task with no problems. (after all this study I better be able to…)
  • Configure Groups, IP Pools, Split Tunneling, and Authentication on the Concentrator:  Not really any issues here except that they created the address pools and authentication servers just for the group and I did it at a global level for the base group.  There were no specific instructions so I dont think this would have caused me any issues.
  • Configuring Certificate Authority on the Win2k3 Server:  Installing the Cert on the server was no problem.  SCEP didn’t work but it could be that SCEP isn’t installed on the server.  I messed with manual certs for a bit, which I can do, but gave up because I was tired.
  • Configuring Network Admission Control:  Never got this far.  Will try again tomorrow.
