Frequently Asked Questions
What is network access control and how does ExtremeCloud IQ Controller implement it?
Network access control (NAC) is a security framework that authenticates and authorizes devices before granting network access. ExtremeCloud IQ Controller implements NAC through policy-based enforcement, allowing you to define who can access your network, what devices are permitted, and what security requirements must be met. This ensures only compliant, authorized devices can connect to your wireless infrastructure.
Can ExtremeCloud IQ Controller manage both mobile and IoT devices?
Yes. ExtremeCloud IQ Controller is designed to manage mobile devices, PCs, and IoT endpoints simultaneously. Its unified device onboarding capabilities streamline provisioning across all device types, while granular access policies ensure each device category receives appropriate network permissions and security controls.
Is ExtremeCloud IQ Controller a cloud-based or on-premises solution?
ExtremeCloud IQ Controller is deployed on-premises, giving you complete data sovereignty and control. While it integrates with ExtremeCloud IQ for enhanced analytics and reporting, the controller itself runs locally, making it ideal for organizations with strict data residency requirements or limited cloud connectivity.
How does ExtremeCloud IQ Controller integrate with wireless access points?
ExtremeCloud IQ Controller provides centralized management of all wireless access points in your network. It handles device authentication, policy enforcement, and traffic routing at the access point level, while offering unified configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting across your entire wireless infrastructure through a single management interface.
