Enable or disable hosts

Use this option to disable or enable hosts. A message window appears indicating the successful disabling or enabling of the host. When a host is disabled all of its adapters are disabled.

  1. Select Hosts > Host View.
  2. Use the Quick Search or Custom Filter to locate the appropriate Host(s).
  3. Select the hosts to be enabled/disabled.
  4. Click either Enable or Disable at the bottom of the Host View.

Enabling and disabling hosts can be automated using events and alarm mappings. Specific events, such as, Possible MAC Address Spoof, can be mapped to an alarm that has the action "Disable Hosts" configured. See Add or modify alarm mapping.
