Hi all,

I'm new to the list and I'm fairly new to the NAC concept.  I played around 
with PF a couple of years ago in an inline test environment and at the time, 
the company I  worked for decided to go a different route.  I am now at a new 
job at a small university.  I recently started working on a proof of concept 
for a NAC, PF, in a test environment.  My goals are to use vlan/role 
assignments and ACLs to protect the network better as well as make it more user 
friendly.  Right now, we don't support gaming devices on our wifi since most of 
the game consoles don't support wpa2 enterprise and we get lots of request for 
that.  I am looking for best practices on how to accomplish the following.

Info:
1) Ubuntu 12.04
2) PF 4.06
3) Active Directory 2008 R2
4) Cisco Switches (2950, 2960, 35??)
5) Cisco Wireless Controller 5508
6) HP 7508? core

1) Network segmentation based on building, wired/wireless. and role(s)
2) Any computer that exist in Active Directory is automatically registered in 
PF, regardless of where it's connected from
3) If the computer doesn't exist in AD, send to captive portal and if the 
person has an account in AD can login with their AD credentials otherwise they 
have to register for a guest account.
4) Be able to register gaming and media devices easily and associate them with 
a user
5) (Maybe) Block home routers from gaining access to the network
6) Network traffic shaping based on role (Outside of PF's scope?)
7) ACLs based on vlan\role (I realize I will have to build this myself)
8) At some point, maybe use SNORT and OpenVAS/Nessus
9) I feel like I'm forgetting something but that's all I can think of at the 
moment.  lol

I want little to no impact for end users using our devices, unless they are 
just blatantly doing something wrong (virus/unauthorized access).  I want to 
give students the easiest way to gain access to the internet and internal 
resources that they need while adding some security and tracking ability to our 
network.

I've got it working to a certain extent with SNMP traps, but that didn't auto 
register the computers that are in AD.  I've been trying to get 802.1x 
authentication working, but have been having some FreeRadius issues that I'm 
unfamiliar with.  (EAP_TLS: Unknown CA errors)

I realize this has been a very generic message but I'd like just some feedback 
of other users' experiences with PF and just make sure I don't waste time going 
down the wrong path.

Any questions, suggestions, criticisms and what-not are welcome.

Thanks for your time,
WaltDjr
