| - | ===== NAV 3.4 ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The main addition to arnold in version 2 (that came with NAV 3.4) is the ability to change vlans on ports instead of just blocking them. This is done so that if you have available quarantine vlans defined on your network, you can put computers on those vlans instead of blocking them. Putting computers in a quarantine vlan is more helpful and convenient for the user of the computer than suddenly losing the internet connection, which often leads to frustration and helpdesk calls. The action of changing a vlan on a port with the help of Arnold is called a //quarantine//. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Other new features: | + | |
| - | * Totally rewritten in python to better interface with the rest of NAV. | + | |
| - | * Arnold Python module makes it easy for developers to use arnold-functionality in other scripts and webpages. | + | |
| - | * New concept - //detention// - introduced. A detention is the action done to a computer to "punish" it, and refers to both a quarantine and a block. | + | |
| - | * Both ip and mac-addresses may be used to detain a computer. | + | |
| - | * Given address does not have to be active at the moment to be detained. | + | |
| - | * More and better options when enabling (enable also refers to "unquarantining") ports. | + | |
| - | * Vlans can now be specified to limit the area of a predefined detention. If an address is outside or moves outside this area, a detention will not be enforced. | + | |
