To select the network port monitoring mode in Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
  5. In the policy properties window, select the Network traffic monitoring section in the list on the left.
  6. In the right part of the window, in the Monitored ports section, select the network ports monitoring mode:
    • If you want Kaspersky Security components to monitor data streams, that are transmitted over any open TCP- and UDP ports on the virtual machine, select the Monitor all network ports variant.
    • If you want Kaspersky Security components to monitor data streams, that are transmitted over default and selected by you ports on the virtual machine, select the Monitor selected ports only variant. You can configure the list of monitored ports and / or list of applications for which ports are monitored, in the Network ports window. The Network ports window can be opened by clicking the Settings button.

      This network ports monitoring mode is used by default.

  7. Click the Apply button.

To select the network port monitoring mode in the local interface:

  1. On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Other settings section, select Network traffic monitoring.

    In the right part of the window the settings for Network Ports Monitoring and for Scanning Secure Connections are displayed.

    If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

  3. Complete step 6 of the previous instructions.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
