4.4.2 Basic configuration

A configuration set up for distribution by using Remote Install Manager with a relay system installed is called a basic configuration. Installing a relay system can reduce loads on the network and the management server.

The following is a guideline for installing a relay system:

To configure a relay system, create a dedicated agent configuration and assign the configuration to the relay system. For settings of the agent configuration dedicated to the relay system, see items in (4) Agent parameters.

Tip

You can distribute files by using Remote Install Manager without installing a relay system. However, we recommend using one or more relay systems to prevent placing excessive load on the network.

The following figure shows the basic configuration.

[Figure]

Distribution to the managed computers in a dispersed site is executed when polling from the relay system occurs.

Settings required in a NAT environment

In the agent configurations for a relay system and agent to be installed on a computer in a dispersed site, specify the management computer to be connected by the global IP address or the host name. If you use the host name, the IP address resolved by using the DNS server or a hosts file must be a global IP address.

Important

Network devices located in a dispersed site and agentless devices cannot be managed in a NAT environment.
