4.2 System configuration management
The managing server can recognize the system configuration based on the system configuration information reported from the distribution-destination systems. System configuration information includes the host name of the local system (value set in /etc/hostname), corresponding IP addresses, and MAC addresses. This enables easy additions and changes to clients and definitions even in a large network, thus reducing the workload of network maintenance at the managing server. The MAC address is displayed in capital letters when it is viewed on a managing server.
