2.8.7 Managing network monitor settings
Network monitor settings allow you to control the network at the network segment level.
There are four network monitor settings: a standard setting that permits network access by default, a setting that does not permit network access, a setting that permits and does not block network access, and a setting that does not permit and does not block network access. If one set of network monitor settings is all you need, you can easily change the settings across the entire system by allocating the standard setting to every network segment.
- Note
-
The default network monitor settings "Default Setting (Do Not Block Network Access)" and "Not Permit Setting (Do Not Block Network Access)" will be made available upon the initial configuration or reconfiguration of management servers. These settings will not be available through upgrades.
Create network monitor settings if you need to use different network monitor settings in different network segments.
Edit network monitor settings if you need to change how network access is controlled.
Delete network monitor settings if changes to how you use the system mean that those settings are no longer required.
After creating network monitor settings, remember to allocate them to the appropriate network segments.
For details about managing network monitor settings, see the description of managing network monitor settings in the manual JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 Administration Guide.
- Tip
-
Events that are issued when the block target devices access the network trigger a network search to locate the devices accessing the network. You can enable the issuance of events while creating network monitor settings, as follows: Select Network Access Control , Network Access Control Settings, and then Add button. In the displayed Add Network Access Control Settings dialog box, select the Only detect nodes and do not block network access. check box.
When the default network monitor setting "Standard (Do Not Block)" or "Deny Access (Do Not Block)" is enabled, the Only detect nodes and do not block network access. check box is selected by default.
