A typical IP access controller supports 2 or 4 basic access control readers. IP access controllers may have an internal web server that is configurable using a browser or using software installed on a host PC. The main features that distinguish IP controllers from older generations of serial controllers are:
In computer security, general access control includes identification, authorization, authentication, access approval, and audit.A more narrow definition of access control would cover only access approval, whereby the system makes a decision to grant or reject an access request from an already authenticated subject, based on what the subject is authorized to access.
A VLAN access control list (VACL) provides access control for all packets that are bridged within a VLAN or that are routed into or out of a VLAN. Unlike regular Cisco IOS access control lists that are configured on router interfaces and applied on routed packets only, VACLs apply to all packets.
Components of an access control system include: An access control panel (also known as a controller) An access-controlled entry, such as a door, turnstile, parking gate, elevator, or other physical barrier; A reader installed near the entry. (In cases where the exit is also controlled, a second reader is used on the opposite side of the entry.)
Network access control (NAC) is an approach to computer security that attempts to unify endpoint security technology (such as antivirus, host intrusion prevention, and vulnerability assessment), user or system authentication and network security enforcement.

Network Admission Control (NAC) refers to Cisco's version of network access control, which restricts access to the network based on identity or security posture.When a network device (switch, router, wireless access point, DHCP server, etc.) is configured for NAC, it can force user or machine authentication prior to granting access to the network.
