Configuring the use of connection tags
If you want to control Light Agents' connection to SVMs using connection tags, you need to do the following:
- In the Light Agent settings: enable the use of tags by Light Agent and assign the tag that Light Agent will use to connect.
- In the Protection Server settings: enable the use of tags on the SVM and specify the tags that are allowed to connect to the SVM. Only Light Agents that are assigned the specified tags will connect to the SVM. If a Light Agent is assigned a different tag or no tag is assigned, the Light Agent will not be able to connect to this SVM.

Assigning connection tags to Light Agents
You can configure the settings for the use of tags by Light Agents in the Light Agent policy (in the policy of the application running in Light Agent mode). The tag usage settings for Light Agent for Windows are also available in the local interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.
To assign a tag to a Light Agent to connect to an SVM, select the Use connection tag check box and enter the connection tag in the Tag field.
For a tag, you can enter a text string up to 255 characters long. You can use any character except the ; character.
For details about configuring the applications running in Light Agent mode, see the Help for the relevant application.
Light Agents to which the tag is assigned can connect only to SVMs for which a connection to Light Agents with this tag is allowed.
