Is it possible to use switches other than cisco for freenac?

Hi, Freenac gurus,

I am interesting for this project, but I have one question:

Is it must fro using cisco switches to realize freenac?

In the other words, could it be a possible to assign dynamic vlans
other than vpms in cisco world?

Ok, maybe we could use 802.1x, so this could dynamic vlan assignment?
instead of VPMS?

If it is possible, that will be great!

TIA

Zhou

Hi,

The current stable release only works with VMPS, which is Cisco
specific.

We have a prototype working with 802.1x now too. We are testing with
Cisco, but other vendors should work too. What vendor are you interested
in?
