Turn On Security for a System

After general deployment of Intel Packet Protect, you might need to turn security on for a system if the system is new and has not had Intel Packet Protect installed before. Or, you might need to manually turn Intel Packet Protect on for an existing system if Intel Packet Protect was turned off previously.

To Install Security for a New System

If a new system requires Intel Packet Protect, follow the installation instructions.

To Manually Turn On Security for an Existing System

After installation, Intel Packet Protect is designed to start automatically upon system startup. If for some reason Intel Packet Protect isn't running, you can restart it.

If you manually turned off security for a client and now want to turn it back on, make sure you reverse whatever method you used to turn it off. To turn off Intel Packet Protect at a client, see Turn Security Off for a System.
