Hi all, I am trying to deploy HIPS 8 to my workstation and get an error in the HIPS 8 log saying it blocked EAPOL, then it blocks all traffic on me. I have to disable all HIPS functions in order to continue. I tried creating an exception in the firewall for that bizarre protocol but so far no joy. Screen shot attached. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ken
Solved! Go to Solution.
1. Edit therule and disable the SCHEDULE option. The schedule option should only be used if you want the rule active/inactive during certain times/days.
2. Verify the rule is ENABLED too.
Create a firewall rule with the Network protocol set to Non-IP Protocol -> Select etherType from the list -> EAPOL.
Hi Kary, I did make that exception but I'm still getting blocked. Firewall rule screen shot shows it's there but not checked:

2. Verify the rule is ENABLED too.
Ah yes, unchecking the schedule finally made it active in the ruleset. Wierd, I guess the logic on the schedule is not what I thought it was.
Thanks!
