Network Quarantine requirements

Review the requirements before you install and use Network Quarantine.

Core platform dependencies

Make sure that your environment meets the following requirements:

• Tanium™ Core Platform servers:
  • 7.3.314.4250 or later
  • 7.4.1.1939 or later

  Network Quarantine is not supported for use with Tanium Core Platform 7.5.x or later.

Solution dependencies

Other Tanium solutions are required for specific Network Quarantine features to work (feature-specific dependencies). The installation method that you select determines if the Tanium Server automatically imports dependencies or if you must manually import them.

Some Network Quarantine dependencies have their own dependencies, which you can see by clicking the links in the list of Feature-specific dependencies. Note that the links open the user guides for the latest version of each solution, not necessarily the minimum version that Network Quarantine requires.

Tanium recommended installation

If you select Tanium Recommended Installation when you import Network Quarantine, the Tanium Server automatically imports all your licensed solutions at the same time. See Tanium Console User Guide: Import all modules and services.

Import specific solutions

If you select only Network Quarantine to import, you must manually import dependencies. See Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions.

Feature-specific dependencies

Network Quarantine has the following feature-specific dependencies at the specified minimum versions:

• Tanium Connect 4.7.4 or later to send notifications about NAC events to destinations.
• Tanium Discover 2.7.0 or later to quarantine a MAC address directly from the Discover Interfaces pages.

Tanium Module Server

Network Quarantine is installed and runs as a service on the Module Server host computer. The impact on Module Server is minimal and depends on usage.

Endpoints

Supported internet protocols

Network Quarantine supports only IPv4 addresses.

Supported operating systems

Same as Tanium Client support. See Tanium Client Management User Guide: Client version and host system requirements.

Third-party software

Network Quarantine is supported for use with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 2.2 - 2.7 with Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid) installed.

Cisco ISE 3.x or later and pxGrid 2.0 or later are not supported.
