2.8.20 Network control function by linking with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager

Linking JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager allows you to control network access without installing computers on which the network monitor is enabled.

To link with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager, you must install JP1/NETM/NM - Manager and a network control appliance. JP1/NETM/NM - Manager version 09-50 or later can be linked.

Linking with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager allows you to control network access by using the network control appliance, eliminating the necessity of installing or managing computers with the network monitor enabled in each site.

The following figure shows an overview of controlling the network by linking with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager.

[Figure]

JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager sends the network control list containing a list of access-permitted devices and a list of access-denied devices to JP1/NETM/NM - Manager. JP1/NETM/NM - Manager distributes the access-permitted device list and the access-denied device list to the network control appliance, which then controls network access of the network segment based on these lists.

Network access of devices managed by JP1/NETM/NM - Manager can be detected. However, unlike the network monitoring function of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2, devices in the network are not automatically discovered.

Because the following settings cannot be specified in JP1/IT Desktop Management 2, specify them in JP1/NETM/NM - Manager.
