End-Point Configuration
Thin Client Firewall Exceptions
The HP t5720 XPe-based Thin Client is configured by default with the Sygate firewall actively blocking
all ports except those required for basic Web browsing and RDP connections. The t5720 thin clients
used in this white paper also had firewall port exceptions added for RGS, which accelerates graphics
in a manner superior to RDP.
In order to properly communicate with the NAC 800 and allow scans to the t5720, the Sygate
firewall must be modified as follows:
Description
IP Address
Remote Ports
Local Ports
Incoming/Outgoing
Allow NAC UDP
10.6.6.2
10.3.3.3
10.4.4.4
8905,8906
Both
Allow NAC TCP
10.6.6.2
10.3.3.3
10.4.4.4
443
Both
Set this firewall configuration as follows:
1.
Reboot the HP t5720 thin client and log on using an account with administrator privileges.
This ensures that the thin client is in a known, clean OS state.
2.
In the
System Tray
