8.3 Allowing network connections
You can manually allow a computer to connect to a network if the computer has been verified as secure or quarantined. In a multi-server configuration, you can allow network connections only for the computers immediately under the local server.
You can only allow network connections from computers in network segments for which network monitor is enabled.
To allow a network connection:
-
Display the Inventory module.
-
In the menu area, select Device Inventory and then Network List. In the Network List view, select the network segment containing the computer that you want to allow to connect to the network.
-
In the information area, select the computer that you want to allow to connect to the network. Select Action and then Deny Network Access.
-
In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
The selected computer is allowed to connect to the network.
If you select Add Notes, you can keep track of information on when and why network connections are allowed. Information entered here is added to the Notes tab.
- Important
-
When you change the network connection setting to Permit against a device that was disconnected by the Network Monitor function, it may take around ten minutes until the device can be connected to the network.
- Tip
-
You can allow a network connection by selecting Computer Security Status and then Network List in the Security module, and then using the Network List view. You can also allow a network connection by selecting Network Access Control and then Network Filter Settings in the Settings module, and then using the Network Filter Settings view.
- Tip
-
If there are two or more networks whose IP address ranges have an inclusion relation in Device List (Network), a network to which devices belong cannot be identified. Accordingly, the devices may not access the server as specified in Server Configuration Settings. In this case, please check the subnet mask of the devices. When two or more networks whose IP address ranges have an inclusion relation are unintentionally created in Device List (Network), remove either network which is unnecessary from Device List (Network) and then re-apply the server settings in the Server Configuration Settings panel.
