6.0 NAC Policies
NAC policies are collections of tests that evaluate remote endpoints attempting to connect to your network. You can use the standard tests installed with Novell ZENworks Network Access Control, or you can create your own custom tests.
NOTE:The default NAC policy is indicated by the check mark on the icon to the left of the NAC policy name. See Section 6.3.2, Selecting the Default NAC Policy for instructions on selecting and charging the default NAC policy.
The NAC policies window (shown in Figure 6-1) is where you create NAC policies and groups, disable NAC policies, delete NAC policies, and access specific NAC policies.
Once you access a specific policy, you can perform the following tasks:
-
Basic settings — Edit NAC policies, assign NAC policies to a group, enable or disable the NAC policy, select which OSs are not tested, but allowed access, set retest frequency, and set quarantine times.
-
Domains and endpoints — Assign endpoints and domains to a policy.
-
Tests — Select tests, select test properties, select test failure actions.
