Table 4 lists suitable edge port security modes and their typical use within
a network.The case studies in Chapter 4 explain how these port security
modes operate to control network access.
Table 4 Edge Port Security Modes Compatible With 3Com Network Access Manager
Port Security Mode Typical Use Supported By
RADA-Else-Network Login Primarily used for blocking unwanted hosts, as the
RADA authorization overrides the ability for the user
to log-in.
This is the recommended edge port security mode,
if the devices on your network support it. All users
have to be authorised before being allowed access.
Any computer or device can access the network as
long as that they have not been identified as
infected. This allows a network administrator to
easily add host filtering to an existing IEEE 802.1X
network.

v5.0 (does not support QoS
profiles)
RADA And Network Login Both the computer and the user need to be
authorized to gain access to the network.
It is primarily used for “White-list” style of security,
where all known computers have to be first
configured before a user can log-in from one of
these computers.

RADA Or Network Login Access to the network is granted if either the
computer or the user is authorised. This mode is
flexible for environments where not every device
has a IEEE 802.1X client
