FreeNAC

Key Features of FreeNAC

• Switch port programming for better control over devices


• Documentation of LAN cabling to keep things organized

The Importance of Network Security

Your enterprise LAN should be user-friendly but also secure. Many people, including visitors and temporary staff, can easily access LAN sockets in open areas like:

• Open-plan offices


• Meeting rooms


• Corners or hallways with printers or kiosks.


• Unlocked wiring closets.

This mobility can create issues. Users want to connect without hassle, but this opens doors for unauthorized folks as well. Sometimes there just aren’t enough Ethernet cables around, leading to hubs and unmanaged switches that anyone could plug into.

You might want to keep an eye on who’s connecting to your network and where. Knowing this helps prevent rogue users who could introduce viruses or disrupt services. So, having a tool like FreeNAC is super helpful!
