Chapter 4: Installing Websense Enterprise or Web Security Suite
Select Yes or No when asked if you want to install Network Agent:
• Select Yes if the installation machine is not being used as a
firewall. Installation will continue.
• Select No if you are attempting to install Network Agent on a
firewall machine, and Setup will exit. Install Network Agent on a
machine that is not running a firewall.
 Network Interface Card (NIC) selection: If you are installing
Network Agent, all enabled network interface cards (NICs) appear in a
list. If the machine has multiple NICs, select the one to use for
Network Agent. Be sure that this card has visibility into the internet
traffic you want Network Agent to filter.
 Network Agent Feedback: If you are installing Network Agent, the
installer asks if you want to allow Websense, Inc., to gather
information about the use of Websense-defined protocols.
Information will be used in the development of protocol filtering.
Select a Network Agent feedback option and continue.
Important
The machine on which Network Agent is installed must be
able to monitor 2-way employee internet traffic to function
correctly. If you install Network Agent on a machine that
cannot monitor the targeted traffic, Network Agent
features such as Protocol Management, Bandwidth
Optimizer, and IM Attachment Manager will not perform
as expected.
Note
After installation, you can run the Traffic Visibility Tool to
test whether the selected NIC can see the appropriate user
internet traffic. See Testing Visibility of Internet Traffic to
Network Agent, page 207.
Note
Network Agent never sends Websense, Inc., any
information that would identify specific users, no matter
which Network Agent feedback option is selected.
