Relay Server
Define or update the Relay Servers used to access managed devices. Relay Servers are
FTP/TFTP servers that devices access to fetch configuration, firmware, and provisioning
information. Use the Relay Server to set the configurations of both the Device Relay and
Appliance Relay Servers.
Note
You can use your appliance as the relay
server. To do so, select the
Internal Relay Server option.
Set the following values for Device Relay Server (download):
- Enter the Host name of the
relay server AirDefense uses to access and fetch device configurations. Normally, this is
the IP address of the relay server. This can be an internal relay server (your
appliance) or an external relay server.
- Select a protocol from the drop-down
menu (FTP,
TFTP,
SFTP,
SCP,
HTTP, or
HTTPS). If
you are using your appliance as the relay server, you can only use FTP or SFTP.
- Specify the Path AirDefense uses to
download information. You should either leave the path blank or use root (/). Use
/pub if you are using your appliance as a relay server.
- Define the Port AirDefense uses to
connect to the Device Relay Server. If you are using your appliance as the relay
server, use port 21 when FTP is the selected protocol or port 22 when SFTP is the selected
protocol.
- Enter the Username needed to
update the Device Relay Server used by AirDefense.
- Enter the Password required to
update the Device Relay Server used by AirDefense.
If different than the Device Relay, set the following values for Appliance Relay Server
(upload):
Note
Use the
Same as Device Relay
Server option if the Relay Server connection address and login
credentials will always be the same for both the
AirDefense appliance and the device. The
option to unsynchronized these configuration fields will only be needed in cases where
the address of the Relay Server will depend upon whether it is being accessed by the
device or the
AirDefense appliance. This type scenario will be encountered in network
deployments where NATing is utilized in such a way that the relay server address will
depend upon where the accessing device is located on the network.
- Enter the Host name of the
relay server AirDefense uses to access and fetch device configurations. Normally, this is
the IP address of the relay server. This can be an internal relay server (your
appliance) or an external relay server.
- Select a protocol from the drop-down
menu (FTP,
TFTP,
SFTP,
SCP,
HTTP, or
HTTPS). If
you are using your appliance as the relay server, you can only use FTP or SFTP.
- Specify the Path AirDefense uses to
upload information. You should either leave the path blank or use root (/). Use /pub
if using your appliance as a relay server.
- Define the Port AirDefense uses to
connect to the Appliance Relay Server. If you are using your appliance as the relay
server, use port 21 when FTP is the selected protocol or port 22 when SFTP is the selected
protocol.
- Enter the Username needed to
update the Appliance Relay Server used by AirDefense.
- Enter the Password required to
update the Appliance Relay Server used by AirDefense.
