Network Access Control (Nac)

Network Access Control (NAC) enables authorized administrators to remotely configure NAC servers and manage devices' access to the military network. NAC places non-compliant systems in quarantine networks until issues are addressed. The Army LandWarNet NetOps Architecture (LNA) provides standards for how network operations will be managed across the Army network. All network operations products must be compliant with the LNA before being approved for Army use. A NAC Compliance Checklist was developed to help organizations and industry understand LNA requirements and assess if their products meet standards.

Network Access Control (NAC)

The Network Access Control enables remote/local configuration and


management of Network Access Control servers to control Internet Protocol
devices access to the LandWarNet. Allows authorized administrators to
configure Network Access Control server rules and manage subsequent Internet
Protocol device scanning for compliance to network policies/requirements. It
places non-compliant systems into Quarantine and Remediation Virtual Local
Area Networks until corrective action is taken.

The Army reference model for The Army Enterprise Network Operations
(NetOps) known as the Army LandWarNet NetOps Architecture (LNA) provides
an objective target for how NetOps will be managed across the Army Enterprise
Infostructure (AEI).
NETCOM/9th Signal Command has the responsibility to ensure all NetOps
products (software, tools, and systems) are compliant to the LNA prior to
providing approval for the Army to acquire, field or connect to the Army
Enterprise. (NetOps software, tools, and systems are those products
(COTS/GOTS) which monitor and manage the networked devices within the
Army Enterprise Infostructure. These NetOps products securely manage,
operate and maintain the network; they are not the network devices or elements
themselves.)

It is essential that each new NetOps product be assessed to verify/validate


compliance to the LNA prior to receiving a Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) as
outlined in AR 25-1, 6-3 Appropriate architecture to include the LandWarNet
NetOps Architecture (LNA), (formerly referred to as the Army Enterprise NetOps
Integrated Architecture (AENIA)), and systems design are incorporated into the
overall Networthiness process to ensure that new systems or their capabilities
will not adversely impact the Army Enterprise Infostructure.
LNA Compliance generally refers to the measurement of a NetOps product in
meeting the Army LNA Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and interoperability
requirements and standards. The core of the LNA Compliance process is the
initial product assessment mapping to the LNA Capabilities, the validation of the
products functional capabilities and data flow interaction with other LNA
Capabilities within the LNA.
It is the intent of the Army that all future NetOps products utilized on the
LandWarNet, which monitor and manage the networked devices within the Army
Enterprise Infostructure, complies with the LNA prior to being acquired, fielded
and integrated.
In an effort to provide Army Organizations and Industry awareness of the LNA
Functional and Interoperability Requirements, NETCOM/9 th Signal Command
developed a Network Access Control Compliance Checklist for this LNA
capability.
Industry is encouraged to utilize this checklist to perform a self-assessment of
their NetOps products to ensure compliance with the LNA requirements. Some
products may map to more than one LNA capability.
It is recommended that Army Requiring Activities utilize this checklist as part of
their market research, evaluation and acquisition process of new or enhanced
NetOps products to ensure their compliance to the LNA.
After selecting a NetOps product for acquisition, Army Requiring Activities should
obtain from the vendor, completed checklist(s) for LNA capabilities to which the
selected NetOps product maps. The completed checklist(s) is the vendors
assessment of their products compliance to the LNA and will be viewed as the
vendors certification of this NetOps products compliance to the Army LNA
functional and interoperability requirements.

Army Requiring Activities should e-mail the vendor completed LNA Compliance
Checklist(s) and supporting documentation to the LNA Compliance Team
[email protected] at the earliest possible date. LNA Compliance
assessment of NetOps products is time consuming, therefore timely submission
of these documents is essential. NetOps products will not be granted a
Certificate of Networthiness without an LNA assessment and determination of the
products compliance to the Army LandWarNet NetOps Architecture.
LNA Checklist(s) received without access to referenced documentation will be
returned and not evaluated.
Note: Vendor completed LNA Compliance Checklists are for NETCOM/9th Signal
Command internal use only and any final compliance assessment will not be distributed
or returned.
