Overview:
A scalable solution is needed for keeping groups of users totally separate and centralizing services and security policies while preserving the high-availability, security, and scalability benefits of the campus design. To address this solution, the network design needs to effectively solve the following challenges:

• Access control: Help ensure legitimate users and devices are recognized, classified, and authorized entry to their assigned portions of the network.


• Path isolation: Help ensure that the substantiated user or device is mapped to the correct secure set of available resources--effectively, the right VPN.


• Services edge: Help ensure that the right services are accessible to the legitimate set or sets of users and devices, with centralized policy enforcement.
