Use this window to add and configure a new assessment server or edit the settings for an existing assessment server. When you add an assessment server, it is added to the Manage Assessment Settings window.
To add an assessment server, open the Manage Assessment Settings window (Tools > Manage Assessment Settings), select the Assessment Servers tab, and click the Add button.
To edit an assessment server, open the Manage Assessment Settings window (Tools > Manage Assessment Settings), select the Assessment Servers tab, and click the Edit button.
Click areas in the window for more information.
- Assessment Server Port
- The port number on the assessment server to which the Extreme Access Control engine sends scanning requests; the default port number is 8445.
- Assessment Server Type
- Use the drop-down menu to select the assessment server type (Agent-less or Nessus) or enter a third-party assessment agent (an assessment agent that is not supplied or supported by NAC Manager).
- Max. Concurrent Scans
- Enter the maximum number of scans that can be performed concurrently on this assessment server. For example, if the max is set to 50, and 1000 end-systems come online and need to be scanned, then only 50 scans occur concurrently. Each time a scan is completed a new one starts, but no more than 50 scans are performed at the same time. This is to prevent overwhelming the assessment server with assessment requests.
| NOTE: | The Max. Concurrent Scans value can only be set from the Edit Assessment
Server window. This is because NAC Manager must be able to communicate with the
server in order to set the value. So the server must first be added before the
Max. Concurrent Scans value can be set. |
