Turn on monitoring mode for a NAS device

In this topic, you will learn how to turn on monitoring mode for a single NAS device that is already registered in Portnox™ Cloud.

  1. In the Cloud portal top menu, click on the Devices option.

  2. In the top left, click on the NETWORK tab.

  3. Click on a selected entry in the list of NAS devices on the left-hand side.

    Portnox Cloud will show the details of the NAS device on the right-hand side.

  4. Click on the Edit link on the bottom right, under the details of the NAS device. You may need to scroll down to see the link.

  5. Click on the Monitoring option in the Access Control Mode section and click on the Save button.

Important:
If you use access control policies for devices connecting to this NAS device in monitoring mode, and you use the setting Quarantine devices in a specific VLAN > Assign to a specific VLAN or Assign devices to a specific Access Control List in the AUTHENTICATION VIOLATION tab, devices that fail authentication will be assigned to quarantine VLANs/ACLs, not to VLANs/ACLs defined in the SUCCESSFUL AUTHENTICATION tab.
