To secure a network environment, a nac system can be used. With this, based on preset policies network devices can be automatically blocked if an undesirable situation occurs. Think of unknown network devices of visitors, a worm that tries to spread or an authorized device that is provided with a different operating system via a boot flop or live CD. Packet Fence is such a nac system, with support for 802.1x and vlan isolation with which a network device can be placed in the right vlan after analysis.
