4.4 Enforcement Cluster Access Mode
The access mode of each cluster can be one of the following:
Š
normal — Endpoints are tested and allowed access or quarantined based on policies,
exceptions, and administrator overrides.
Š 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 on page 146 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).
Figure 4-8
Failed Endpoint
The admin changes the access mode from
normal
to
allow all (System
Configuration>>Quarantining>>Access mode area, allow all radio
button)
.
Figure 4-9 on page 146 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).
Figure 4-9
Failed Endpoint Allow All Mode
Hover the mouse over the green icon in the
ac
column and a window pops up ( Figure 4-10 on
page 146 ) 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, the endpoint is allowed access because of the
change to
allow all
mode; however, when the mode is changed back to
normal
, the endpoint
will again be quarantined for the reason listed.
