Table: DTE_CLIENT_MODE information

Usage	Description
Where to use	On NetBackup clients.
How to use	Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: DTE_CLIENT_MODE = AUTOMATIC \| ON \| OFF By default, the DTE mode for 9.1 clients is set to OFF and for 10.0 and later clients, it is set to AUTOMATIC. If the DTE_CLIENT_MODE option is set to AUTOMATIC, the client follows the DTE mode that is set at the global level: Enforced, Preferred On, or Preferred Off. If the option is set to ON, data-in-transit encryption is enabled for the client. If the option is set to OFF, data-in-transit encryption is disabled for the client. This setting can be used to exclude a client for encryption if the global DTE mode is set to Preferred On. Note: If the global DTE mode is set to Enforced, jobs fail for the NetBackup clients that have the DTE_CLIENT_MODE option set to 'OFF' and also for the hosts earlier than 9.1.
