Tina is deploying a NAC solution for a university network and she wishes to perform host health checking. The network has many unmanaged student machines and students do not want to have software installed on their systems that remains behind after they leave the network. Which one of the following approaches would be best for Tina to use?
A. Captive portal
B. Dissolvable NAC
C. Permanent NAC
D. Active Directory NAC
Correct Answer: B
Dissolvable NAC uses a temporary agent that is removed immediately after the health check completes. This would be the best solution for Tina to deploy. A captive portal solution does not necessarily have the ability to perform health checking unless it is combined with a dissolvable agent. Permanent NAC would install software that remains on the student computers. Active Directory NAC would not be appropriate because the systems are unmanaged and, therefore, not accessible through AD.
