Re: Enterasys D.I.R Vs. Cisco

[Bernardo Wernesback <bernardosw () gmail com>]

Hi Juan,

I've tested DIR in laboratory and it really works well. We had a
Dragon IDS detecting attacks and, when integrated with NetSight Atlas,
applying restrictions to the attacker's switch port.

Cisco does have a similar solution (I believe it's called RBAC) but it
depends on having servers specifically for this solution and, as far
as I know, it is not as complete as Enterasys.

I'd love to hear from people who've used Cisco's solution.

See ya,
Bernardo.
