The standard installation procedures are contained in the
Endpoint Security for Linux Installation Guide. This article describes more installation options.
ENSL Firewall can be installed from ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and standalone packages. ENSL Firewall has the following command-line installation options:
- alttmppath - Allows ENSL Firewall to change the default folder location from where ENSL Firewall is installed. In the absence of this option, ENSL Firewall is installed from the /tmp folder by default.
- fwoff - Allows ENSL Firewall to be installed with the firewall disabled.
NOTE: The options
fwoff and
alttmppath=/alternateTmpFolderPath are only honored for fresh installations. If an upgrade is detected, the options specified are ignored and the existing settings are retained. For example, if the firewall is enabled in the current version, the new version keeps the settings enabled.
Examples:
NOTE: To perform an ePO managed installation with the above options, type the supported installation options from above in the McAfee Agent command-line parameter textbox in the deployment task page. Make sure that you type the options separated with a space.
- For a standalone installation with the firewall disabled, run the following command:
sudo ./install-mfw.sh fwoff
- For an ePO-managed installation with the firewall disabled, type fwoff in the McAfee Agent command-line textbox in the deployment task.
- For a standalone installation with the firewall disabled with alttmppath, specify the fwoff option before the alttmppath option:
sudo ./install-mfw.sh fwoff alttmppath=/alternateTmpFolderPath
