Overview of the ProCurve NAC 800
Endpoint Integrity
NAC EI Agent
The NAC 800 stores the ProCurve NAC EI agent application. An end-user can
download and install this agent to his or her endpoint in these ways:
■
Automatically before testing —For example, you can use network
management tools to deploy the agent to many endpoints.
■
Automatically at initial testing —When a NAC 800 that uses the NAC
agent testing method detects an endpoint that does not have the agent, it
installs the agent to the endpoint automatically. The user sees the window
in Figure 1-6 and, unless he or she cancels the installation, the agent is
installed permanently.
The automatic installation uses ActiveX.

■
Manually —You can instruct users to access the NAC 800 and download
the NAC EI agent manually. The NAC 800 makes the agent available at
this URL:
https://<CS or ES IP address>:89/setup.exe
A user might choose this option because he or she does not want to enable
ActiveX (required for automatic installation).
After the agent is installed, the NAC 800 can test the endpoint as often as
necessary without further end-user interaction.
