The following connection and communication actions apply:
Š
If the connection between the DHCP server and the Novell ZENworks Network Access
Control server is lost and re-established, the existing ACL on the DHCP server is discarded and
Novell ZENworks Network Access Control re-transmits the entire ACL.
Š
If the DHCP server cannot communicate with Novell ZENworks Network Access Control at
any time, the DHCP server goes in to an
allow all or deny all state, depending on the
failopen
parameter setting in the
config.xml
file (true = allow all, false = deny all).
Š
Novell ZENworks Network Access Control attempts to connect to known DHCP servers on
start-up, and continuously attempts to connect at regular intervals indefinitely.
The following sections contain more information:

Interface,” on page 320
15.1 Installation Overview
When Novell ZENworks Network Access Control does not sit inline with the DHCP server, you
need to set up a remote host for Device Activity Capture (DAC) to allow Novell ZENworks
Network Access Control to listen on the network. This is done by installing a small program on the
DHCP server or other remote (non-Novell ZENworks Network Access Control) host, which then
sends relevant endpoint device information back to Novell ZENworks Network Access Control.
NOTE: Windows Server 2003 is the only server supported for this release.
To install the DHCP plug-in:
1 The DHCP plug-in requires that you first configure your system with RDAC as described in
Section 13.1, “Creating a DAC Host,” on page 295 .
2 On the Novell ZENworks Network Access Control MS, enter the following commands and
follow the on-screen instructions:
2a
/usr/local/nac/bin/MakeDHCPCert
This command generates a file named
server.pem
in the current directory. This file
contains a key and certificate signed by the CA. The DHCP plug-in responds to SSL
connections from Novell ZENworks Network Access Control by providing this
certificate.
2b Copy the
server.pem
file (from the directory where it was created in Step 2a above) to
the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dhcp
directory.
2c After copying the
server.pem
file from the Novell ZENworks Network Access
Control server, delete the file from its temporary location on the Novell ZENworks
Network Access Control server
