Disable Mandatory Agent Auto-Upgrade on the CAM
New installs of the CAM/CAS automatically enable mandatory auto-upgrade by default. For CAM/CAS
upgrades, the current setting (enabled or disabled) will be carried over to the upgraded system. To disable
mandatory Agent auto-upgrade for all users:
Step 1 Go to Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent > Distribution (Figure 9-6 on
page 9-18).
Step 2 Disable (uncheck) the Current NAC Agent is a mandatory upgrade option.
Step 3 Click Update.
Note Cisco recommends setting the Current NAC Agent is a mandatory upgrade option to ensure the latest
AV/AS product support.
User Experience for Agent Auto-Upgrade
With auto-upgrade enabled, and a newer version of the Agent available in the CAM, the user experience
is as follows:
• New users download and install the latest available version of the Agent after the initial one-time
web login.
• Existing users are prompted at login to auto-upgrade to the latest version of the Agent available (if
upgrade notification is enabled for users). After the user accepts the prompt to upgrade, the client
automatically begins installing the newer Agent version.
• Out-of-Band users must be on the Authentication VLAN to be prompted to automatically upgrade
the Agent at login.
• In-Band users remain logged into the Agent when the user logs off the Windows domain or shuts
down the machine, unless the General Setup page is configured otherwise. See Logoff NAC Agent
users from network on their machine logoff or shutdown after <x> secs (for Windows & In-Band
setup, for OOB setup when OOB Logoff is enabled), page 1-10 for details.
