How to Initialize
NAC Manager Database Components


NAC Manager provides a way for you to initialize only the NAC Manager components in the NetSight Database. The initialize operation removes all NAC Manager data elements from the database except default configurations (NAC, Portal, AAA, and appliance settings) or system-defined NAC Profiles. Default configurations and profiles will be restored to their original default parameters.

Using this operation instead of the Restore Initial Database function (accessed in the Server Information window) allows you to initialize your NAC Manager components while retaining your NetSight Console and other NetSight application data elements in the database.

  NOTE: As a precaution, it is recommended that you make a backup of your NetSight Database prior to performing the initialize operation using the Backup Database window accessed from the Server Information window.
  1. Make a backup of your database using the Backup Database window accessed from Database tab in the Server Information window (Tools > Server Information.)
  2. Select File > Database > Initialize NAC Manager Components to begin the initialize operation. You will see a message asking if you want to delete all NAC Manager data in the server's database. Click OK.
