Label Description
Monitor
Mode
Optionally check the Enable to monitor network access without enforcement to allow
authentication and health validation exchanges to take place between endpoint and Policy
Manager, but without enforcement. In monitor mode, no enforcement profiles (and
associated attributes) are sent to the network device.
Policy Manager also allows Policy Simulation (Monitoring > Policy Simulation) where the
administrator can test for the results of a particular configuration of policy components.
More
Options
Select any of the available check boxes to enable the configuration tabs for those options.
The available check boxes varies based on the type of service that is selected and may
include one or more of the following:
l Authorization: Select an authorization source from the drop-down list to add the source
or select the Add new Authentication Source link to create a new source.
l Posture Compliance: Select a Posture Policy from the drop-down list to add the policy
or create a new policy by clicking the link. Select the default Posture token. Specify
whether to enable auto-remediation of non-compliant end hosts. If this is enabled, then
enter the Remediation URL. Finally, specify the Posture Server from the drop-down list
or add a new server by clicking the Add new Posture Server link.
l Audit End-hosts: Select an Audit Server, either built-in or customized. Refer to
"Configuring Audit Servers" on page 233 for audit server configuration steps. For this
type of service you can perform audit Always, When posture is not available, or For
MAC authentication requests.
You can specify to trigger an audit always, when posture is not available, or for MAC
authentication requests. If For MAC authentication requests is specified, then you can
perform an audit For known end-hosts only or For unknown end hosts only, or For all
end hosts. Known end hosts are defined as those clients that are found in the
authentication source(s) associated with this service. Performing audit on a client is an
asynchronous task, which means the audit can be performed only after the MAC
authentication request has been completed and the client has acquired an IP address
through DHCP. Once the audit results are available, there should be a way for Policy
Manager to re-apply policies on the network device. This can be accomplished in one
of the following ways:
n No Action: The audit will not apply policies on the network device after this audit.
n Do SNMP bounce: This option will bounce the switch port or force an 802.1X re
authentication (both done via SNMP).
NOTE: Bouncing the port triggers a new 802.1X/MAC authentication request by the client.
If the audit server already has the posture token and attributes associated with this client in
its cache, it returns the token and the attributes to Policy Manager.
n Trigger RADIUS CoA action: This option sends a RADIUS Change of Authorization
command to the network device by Policy Manager.
l Optionally configure Profiler settings. Select one or more Endpoint Classification items
from the drop down list, then select the RADIUS CoA action. You can also create a new
action by selecting the Add new RADIUS CoA Action link.
