Initializing the System
==========================


Genian NAC Appliances, and logical components such as Policy Servers, Network
Sensors and Wireless Sensors may be configured individually. Settings include
OS Update Proxy, SSH Access Restrictions, SNMP Agent, Hardware Usage Alerts,
System Time and log management.

Default Settings are configured for both Network Appliances and Sensors, this
allows configurations to be cloned onto other Network Appliances and Sensors
when added onto the network. This eliminates the need for the Administrator to
configure each one. As a Remote Site is added and a Network Sensor is installed
it will inherit the configurations from the Network Appliance settings. If
Additional VLANs are configured then these VLANs will inherit configurations
from the Sensor settings. These settings are optional and can later be
reconfigured on individual appliances.
