(Conditional) To add a role to a Satellite, select the desired role in the
Satellite Server Roles
section.
If the
Configure
link is disabled for any role, that role is disabled for this device. For example,
if the Satellite’s parent Primary Server does not have the Collection role, the Satellite’s
Collection role is disabled and cannot be configured. Non-configurable roles that a managed
device performs are also listed in the dialog box but cannot be edited.
See the following sections for more information about each role:
Section 7.2.1, “Authentication Role,” on page 83
Section 7.2.2, “Collection Role,” on page 84
Section 7.2.3, “Content Role,” on page 84
Section 7.2.4, “Imaging Role,” on page 86

command before configuring
the Authentication role.
