ESET Rogue Detection Sensor policy settings

You can change the behavior of ESET RD Sensor using a policy. This is mostly used to change the filtering of addresses. You can, for example, include certain addresses in the blacklist so they are not detected.

Click Policies and expand Custom Policies to edit an existing policy or create a new one.

Filters

IPv4 Filter

Enable IPv4 address filtering - By enabling filtering, only computers whose IP addresses are part of the Whitelist in the IPv4 filter list will be detected, or only those that are not part of the Blacklist.

Detection

Active detection - Enabling this option will allow the RD Sensor to search the local network for computers actively. This can improve search results but it can also trigger firewall warnings on some machines.

OS detection ports - RD Sensor uses a pre-configured list of ports to search the local network for computers. You can edit the port list.

Advanced Settings
