Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

NAC supports the common configuration mode and unified configuration mode. Compared with the common mode, the unified mode has the following advantages:

The command lines are easy to understand and the format design meets user requirements.
Similar concepts are deleted from function design and configuration logic is more simple.

Considering advantages of the unified mode, you are advised to deploy NAC in unified mode. You can run the authentication unified-mode command to switch the NAC mode to unified mode.

Precautions

In the unified mode, the commands of the common mode are unavailable; in the common mode, the commands of the unified mode are unavailable.
When the common and unified modes are switched, each NAC function in the original configuration mode is restored to the default one and users are disconnected.
