Cisco NAC Program Fees & Pricing

Testing Fee Schedule

This page shows the fees associated with the interoperability testing for the Cisco Network Admission Control Program as offered by AppLabs.

Pricing:
The table below represents the pricing for the different product/test types associated with NAC2. After registration you will be sent a link to the IVT Questionnaire, this questionnaire will need to be filled out and returned in order to determine testing type, test duration, and fees.

Product/Test TypePriceTest Days Allotted
Posture Plugin:$75005 days
HCAP:$60004 days
GAME:$60004 days
Supplicant:$45003 days
Reporting and Monitoring:$45003 days
Sandbox w/o Engineer:$25005 days
Sandbox w/ Engineer:$50005 days

For the Sandbox without Engineer option, engineering assistance is available as required for $150/hr.

Cancellation/Postpone Policy
If for whatever reason you need to change a confirmed date, we require that you provide no less than 10 business days' advance notice by sending email to: cnac@keylabs.com.

Cancellations that occur with less than 10 business days' notice will be subject to a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the testing fee (see fee table above) but only if AppLabs cannot fill the time slot with another partner's test. Rescheduling will be accommodated based on AppLabs' availability.Multi-Solution Discounts
Price for testing solutions that include multiple product types is discounted by the following schedule. To calculate the price of testing a solution that includes multiple product types simply add the fees for each product/test type and then apply the appropriate discount below. Test days allotted are cumulative where a solution includes multiple product types.
  • 2 product/test types, discount of $500
  • 3 product/test types, discount of $1000
  • 4 product/test types, discount of $1500
If testing cannot be completed within the total number of test days allotted then partners will have the option to declare the test a failure and re-register for testing at a later date or schedule time in the lab at the next available date to continue testing. Additional days beyond the total test days allotted will be charged at a rate of $1500/day. Double the total test days allotted is the limit for testing. After double the total test days allotted the product fails.

Unique products and conditions that require additional testing beyond the established time frames will require additional fees to be paid. Cisco Network Admission Control Program Members are required to provide any special or unique hardware and/or software required to perform the interoperability testing of the product. Participants are required to resolve any issues, problems, or potential failures discovered during product interoperability testing within 30 days from being notified by AppLabs.

Items To Be Provided:

The partner will provide a shipping version of the product to be tested.

Payment Arrangements:
The testing fees are paid in advance. After receiving your completed IVT questionnaire AppLabs will send pricing and test duration information for billing purposes. All dollar amounts are shown in US currency. AppLabs accepts the following forms of payment:

  • Purchase Order
  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • American Express
  • Wire Transfer
  • Company Check

Purchase orders must be approved in advance and may also require submission of a credit application for review and approval. AppLabs does not accept purchase orders from international companies. Please note that the testing fees remitted to AppLabs are non-refundable.

Scheduling Product Testing:
NAC participants are typically scheduled for the total allotted test days for the applicable product/test type(s). Please plan accordingly. Please be aware that AppLabs cannot schedule your product for testing in the lab until product registration and payment of the appropriate testing fees have both occurred.

Participants are scheduled on a "first come, first served" basis. Scheduling is based on available and open dates for testing and are subject to change on a daily basis. When registering your product for compliance testing, you will be given the opportunity to specify a preferred and alternate testing date. AppLabs will attempt to accommodate all reasonable requests. If you have a special need or circumstance, please note this in your product registration.

The submission contact for your company will be contacted by email with confirmation of reserved testing dates. Once your product is scheduled to enter testing, AppLabs will reserve these dates for you and make the necessary engineering and hardware reservations to ensure the lab is ready for your product.

Product Re-testing:
Products will need to be re-tested for interoperability under the following conditions to maintain their current verification:

  • Cisco updates the compliance specification.
  • Product undergoes significant feature, functionality, or enhancement changes to the product.
Products that need to be re-tested, for whatever reason, will require separate and unique registrations using the AppLabs website. For complete re-testing guidelines and information, please contact Cisco.
