Node Group Details

In Genian NAC, node groups can be categorized into two types: Node Policy-only Node Groups (Policy Groups) and General Node Groups (Status Groups).

In general, node groups are used when establishing policies and can be applied in node policies and control policies.

Checking Conditions for Creating Node Policy-only Node Groups

Node policy-only node groups are based on node-related information such as node type, IP/MAC address, user information, and authentication.

These node groups can be used in node policies.

Item	Description
IPv6 Address	Creates a group based on the node’s IPv6 address.
IP Management	Creates a group based on IP management policies used in NAC.
IP Address	Creates a group based on the node’s IPv4 address.
MAC + IP Address	Creates a group based on the node’s IPv4 address and MAC address.
MAC Address	Creates a group based on the node’s MAC address.
Node Type	Creates a group based on the node type classified by NAC.
Registration Status	Creates a group based on whether the node is registered on the policy server.
Registration Date	Creates a group based on the registration time of the node in NAC.
Sensor	Creates a group based on network sensors and registered nodes on those sensors.
Time	Creates a group based on current time using time objects.
Agent	Creates a group based on the installation and operation status of the NAC agent.
Authenticated User	Creates a group based on authenticated users when NAC's user authentication is in use.
Device Owner	Creates a group based on the device owner information set on the node.
Policy Group	Creates a group that includes another policy group. (Only one level of nesting is allowed)
Tag	Creates a group based on tag information assigned to nodes.

Checking Conditions for Creating General Node Groups

General node groups are based on node status and results derived from various related conditions.

Note

General node groups include all conditions of policy-only node groups, but cannot be used in node policies.
