What Firewall to use with MOVE 4.8?

[tcox8]

Hello,

Our McAfee salesman sold us on using McAfee MOVE claiming we could use ENS FW as the software firewall on the VMs. Much to our surprise, you cannot install MOVE alongside any ENS product and vice versa. What are those of you using as a firewall when using MOVE?

@tcox8 McAfee Move itself is an Antivirus and ENS is a suite. So you may download the ENS firewall package alone rather platform, threat prevention and web control.

Your requirement is to download Firewall - full install Version 10.6.1.1106 and Firewall Version 10.6.1.1042 firewall extension and check in to your ePO console. Then you can use the ENS firewall along with McAfee MOVE.

I hope this helps. You may accept this as a solution or give me a kudo... 🙂

Cheers!!!!!

If you want to use a Firewall on the Clients, then you'll need to use HIPS. ENS can't be installed on the same clients.

Well that sucks. I do not want to have to spin up and support yet another mcAfee product in my environment. Especially using  2 different firewalls. Our salesman sold us on using ENS with MOVE.

If you want to use ENSFW you'll need to use ENSTP - if you decide to go down that route, you might want to consider using ENS for servers?

Sorry to disappoint you!

@tcox8 chealey is correct in that if you want to use ENSFW you should not be using it with MOVE. MOVE is only supported with HIPS Firewall. If ENSFW is your goal, the flavor of ENS that you will want to use on virtual systems is Endpoint Security for Servers. This is a version of ENS which you can use all modules (including FW) and it will leverage McAfee Agent Smart Scheduling in order to allow you to control max hypervisor resource utilization levels in order to get better performance with ENS on a virtual system.

The product guide, with more information, can be found as PD28025.

You can go back to your sales rep to discuss options for correcting your product suite to better suit your needs.

McAfee Move and ENS are now compatible.

Please follow these instructions:

3. Install ENS McAfee Firewall

PD: Don't try to install ENS in top of Move, because It will not work.
