When you click Initial Setup, the Network Quarantine Options panel appears.
Select the type of network quarantine you want to apply to the virtual machine, then
click Next to continue through the wizard.
• Static quarantine — You specify a single list of approved networks and
machines or of networks and machines that are off-limits. The list is stored with
the virtual machine and distributed as part of the package. If you need to make
any changes in the future, you must update the package and distribute the
update to your users. If you select this option, see Static Quarantine on page 88
for the next steps in the wizard.
• Dynamic quarantine — You specify a single list of approved or disapproved
networks and machines. The list is stored on a server. The virtual machine checks
the server frequently and retrieves the list. If you need to make any changes in
the future, you update the list stored on the server. If you select this option, see
Dynamic Quarantine on page 90 for the next steps in the wizard.
• Version-based quarantine — You specify two lists of approved or disapproved
networks and machines. One list is used for up-to-date virtual machines. The
other list is used for out-of-date virtual machines. The lists are stored on a server.
The virtual machine checks the server frequently and retrieves the lists. VMware
ACE uses the list of approved or disapproved networks and machines that is
appropriate for the virtual machine’s version. If you need to make any changes to
the lists or the network quarantine version in the future, you do so by updating
the information stored on the server. If you select this option, see Version-Based
Quarantine on page 95 for the next steps in the wizard.
• Custom quarantine using script — You specify two lists of approved or
disapproved networks and machines. You also specify a script that runs to
determine which list the virtual machine should use. If you select this option, see
Custom Quarantine Using a Script on page 102 for the next steps in the wizard.
