Endpoint Protection

Hi people,

Can anyone please let us know in how to disable the SEP client temporarily ?

I have tried the smc -stop command from Start | Run but somehow my laptop is not ping-able performing a direct connection peer to peer with a patch cable.

check this link

To disable SEP client firewall service

smc -disable –ntp

To enable client firewall service

smc -enable -ntp

If the SEP client UI is password protected:

smc -disable -ntp -p <password>

I hope it's been informative.

Good Info pete

Hi, 

Pete's commands are right for your scenario.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

I would be glad to answer your query.

There is only one command to disable SEP client, you can execute the command multiple times if it's not working.

Start --> Run --> smc -stop 

If possible restart the machine and execute the 'smc -stop' command

Refer this article if want to know more about dos commands

SEP 12.1 & Dos commands

ok, so does in this case the SNAC component also stopped as well ?

No, you need to stop the SNAC services from services.msc

above cmd will disable the Network threat protection of SEP. SNAC is a different module.

Only fw is stopped

Thumbs up Pete for your nice post.

My vote goes to you.
