Full range of authentication modes: Portal, 802.1x, and MAC
Portal authentication is applicable to wireless network access and supports customized authentication pages, which helps convey corporate values.
eSight Policy Center supports 802.1x authentication and automatic authentication by the authentication client, and binds the terminal MAC addresses, IP addresses, and users to enable more authentication policies.
eSight Policy Center supports automatic upgrade notification of the 802.1x authentication client, simplifying management.
eSight Policy Center automatically authenticates printers and IP phones, which ensures the authentication and management over unmanned terminals.
Integrated wired and wireless access control, meeting the need for campus network access authentication
eSight Policy Center offers a terminal access control solution based on the linkage of network devices (switches, AR routers, WLAN devices, and firewalls) at access and aggregation layers and applies to various campus network scenarios.
In case of wireless access, eSight Policy Center links Huawei AC devices to control employee and guest access.
Authorization policies based on user roles and more dedicate rights control
eSight Policy Center authenticates user information in terms of user login times, roles, access device groups, and user groups.
Authenticated users can be granted with a wide range of rights, including dynamic and static ACL, or joining different VLANs.
Access rights can be granted by user, terminal, and location. For example, authenticated users can access intranets; outsourced employees or guests can access the Internet via intranets.
