Chapter 9 Configuring Cisco NAC Appliance for Agent Login and Client Posture Assessment
Configuring Agent-Based Posture Assessment
Note Cisco recommends specifying vendor names when appropriate because choosing the ANY option can
affect the Agent’s performance (the process takes longer) on the client machine.
Step 5 From the Type dropdown menu, choose either Installation or Virus Definition. This enables the
checkboxes for the corresponding Installation or Virus Definition column in the table below.
Step 6 Choose an Operating System from the dropdown menu. This populates the product versions supported
for this client OS in the table below:
• Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP
• Mac OSX
Step 7 Type an optional Rule Description.
Note Some of the default user messages in the Agent dialogs are very similar between various rules and/or
requirements. To ensure the user clearly understands the remediation issue at hand, Cisco strongly
recommends providing an appropriate message in this field describing the nature and purpose of the
given function.
Step 8 In the Checks for Selected Operating Systems table, choose the product versions you want to check
for on the client by clicking the checkbox(es) in the corresponding Installation or Virus Definition
column:
• ANY means you want to check for any product and any version from this AV vendor.
• Installation checks whether the product is installed.
• Virus Definition checks whether the virus definition files are up to date on the client for the
specified product.
Note In a definition rule, the Agent first confirms whether or not the product is installed, then checks whether
or not the definition file is up-to-date.
Step 9 Click Add Rule. The new AV rule will be added at the bottom of the Rule List with the name you
provided.
