Endpoint Integrity
.
endpoint
A device that connects to a network, such as a desktop computer, a laptop
computer, or a server.
endpoint integrity
The functionality that examines all endpoints that attempt to attach to the
network and prohibits unsafe or non-compliant endpoints from gaining
access. Endpoint integrity ensures that an endpoint that attaches to the edge
of the network is clean and meets configured criteria (for example, antivirus
program present and running with current signatures) before allowing it to
access network resources.
endpoint integrity
agent license
A licence that permits the use of the
NAC EI agent
on
endpoint
s. The licenses
apply to the number of endpoints, identified by MAC address. For example, if
an end-user is connected to the network with a desktop computer via Ethernet
and a laptop via the wireless LAN, two licenses are required. Also, if a site has
100 licenses, more than 100 devices can have the NAC EI agent installed on
them, but only 100 of those endpoints can be connected to the network at
one time.
endpoint integrity
agent
maintenance
license
A license to receive automatic updates to the
NAC EI Agent
software. When you
initially purchase an agent license, you also receive a one-year maintenance
license. You must purchase a license each year in one of the following
increments: 100, 250, 1000, or 5000 endpoints.
endpoint integrity
implementation
startup service
An service offered by ProCurve Networking to help customers implement the
NAC 800. You can purchase either the
inline
/
DHCP
service or the
802.1X
service.
end-user screen
NAC 800 message windows that appear on the end-user’s monitor; they show
information such as the endpoint’s
test status
and
remediation
steps, permitting
the user to download an agent, cancel testing, and get more information about
why a test failed.
enforcement
cluster
A logical group of one or more
ES
s that are controlled by an
MS
. Each cluster
can support only one
deployment method
, but an
MS
can control multiple
ES
s,
each supporting a different deployment method.
enforcement
server
See
ES
.
ES
Enforcement Server
. In a multiple-NAC 800 installation, the ES applies the
NAC policies
that are defined on the
MS
and enforces quarantining.
