Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring Network Admission Control
Configuring a NAC Policy
Detailed Steps
Setting the Revalidation Timer
After each successful posture validation, the ASA starts a revalidation timer. The expiration of this timer
triggers the next unconditional posture validation. The ASA maintains the current access policy during
revalidation.
By default, the interval between each successful posture validation is 36000 seconds (10 hours). To
change it, enter the following command in nac-policy-nac-framework configuration mode:
Detailed Steps
Configuring the Default ACL for NAC
Each group policy points to a default ACL to be applied to hosts that match the policy and are eligible
for NAC. The ASA applies the NAC default ACL before posture validation. Following posture
validation, the ASA replaces the default ACL with the one obtained from the Access Control Server for
the remote host. The ASA retains the default ACL if posture validation fails.
The ASA also applies the NAC default ACL if clientless authentication is enabled (which is the default
setting).
