Question 1

Can NemoClaw on Jetson connect to a local network without internet access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Air-gapped does not mean network-less. The Jetson can connect to a local area network that has no internet gateway — factory LANs, building management networks, or private VLANs. NemoClaw's privacy router policy controls which local endpoints the agent can reach. Set allowed_endpoints to include only the specific local IPs and ports the agent needs (MES systems, local databases, SCADA controllers) while keeping deny_all_other: true.

Question 2

What is the power consumption of NemoClaw inference on Jetson AGX Thor?

Accepted Answer

The Jetson AGX Thor supports configurable power modes from 15W to 100W. During active NemoClaw inference with the 12B model, expect 60–80W sustained power draw. During idle periods (model loaded but no requests), power drops to 20–30W. This is compatible with industrial UPS systems, vehicle power supplies, and solar installations that cannot support the 1,500W+ draw of a DGX Station. Configure the power mode with nvpmodel based on your deployment's thermal and power constraints.

Question 3

How do I handle NemoClaw security patches on air-gapped Jetsons?

Accepted Answer

Security patches follow the same offline update process as regular updates. Subscribe to NVIDIA's NemoClaw security advisories. When a patch is released, download it on a connected workstation, verify the checksum against NVIDIA's published hash, transfer to USB, and install on the Jetson during a maintenance window. For critical vulnerabilities, expedite the update cycle. For air-gapped fleets with many Jetsons, build an internal patch staging server that Jetsons connect to during scheduled maintenance windows on the isolated factory LAN.
