Enforcement Cluster Access Mode
The access mode of each cluster can be one of the following:
■
normal – Endpoints are tested and allowed access or quarantined
based on policies, exceptions, and administrator overrides.
■ allow all – Endpoints are tested as in normal mode; however, all
endpoints are allowed access.
When you change the access mode from
normal
to
allow all
, the icons and
endpoint status shown on the
Endpoint activity
window change as described in
this section.
An endpoint attempts to connect to the network and is quarantined. figure 4-
8 shows that the
Endpoint test status is Failed (red X in the et column), and that
the endpoint is quarantined (red symbol with X in the
ac
column).
The admin changes the access mode from normal to allow all (System Configu-
ration>>Quarantining>>Access mode area, allow all radio button)
.
figure 4-9 shows that the previously quarantined endpoint is now allowed
access (green icon in the
ac
column); however, the
Endpoint test status
still
shows
Failed
(red X in the
et
column).
Hover the mouse over the green icon in the ac column and a window pops up
(figure 4-10) providing a description of the endpoint access control status as
well as what the access control status would be in
normal mode. In this case,
