Creating Associations
CommandCenter Secure Gateway’s Association Manager allows you to add, modify, or delete
Categories and Elements. In CommandCenter Secure Gateway, each device or port has an
associated IP Address and Port Name by default. For further differentiation, additional types of
attributes, known as
categories, are associated to the device or port for ease of administration.
Each Category has elements associated with it. For example, the category “Country” might have
the elements “USA,” “Japan,” and “Germany” associated with it; the category “Location” might
have the elements “San Jose,” “San Francisco,” and “New York” associated with it, and so on.
Once the tree view is customized using these attributes, you can easily find, for example, all
Firewall devices located in the New York location without searching through an extensive list of
managed devices/ports.
Once you add a new category and its elements, you can associate CC-SG’s configured
devices/ports. The easiest way to create associations is to use the Guided Setup. Further
information on creating more detailed associations can be found in the
CommandCenter Secure
Gateway Administrator Guide .
Guided Setup
The Guided Setup guides you through steps to create categories and their associated elements (as
described in the Associations section of the CommandCenter Secure Gateway Administrator
Guide ) then automates the creation of related Port Groups and Policies for those elements.
1. In CC-SG, from the Administration menu, click Guided Setup . The Guided Setup screen
appears.
2. Click Associations and then click Create Categories in the left panel.
3. Type the name of a category you wish to organize your ports by (for example: Location ) in
the Category field.
4. Type a unique name of each element in that category in the Elements fields below, and press
<Enter>. These elements are used to group your ports within the category (for example: LA
Market Area, Chicago Market Area, etc. ).
5. If you wish to create another category, click Apply and repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. When you are done creating categories, click OK at the bottom of the screen. A list of
categories and associated elements that are created is displayed on the screen.
7. Click Finish to exit the Guided Setup screen.
8. To make changes to any of the categories, from the Associations menu, click Association .
Adding a Paragon II KVM Port to CommandCenter Secure
Gateway
1. Click on the Devices selection tab and select a KVM device from the Devices tree.
2. On the Devices menu, click Port Manager , and then click Configure Ports . The Configure
Ports screen appears.
3. Click Configure button that corresponds to the KVM port you want to configure. The
Configure KVM Port screen appears.
4. Type a port name in the Port Name field.
5. Type a node name in the Node Name field.
6. Click on the Access Application drop-down arrow and select Raritan Remote Client.
7. Click OK to configure the KVM port or Cancel to exit without configuring. Repeat steps 1
through 6 to configure other KVM ports. Successfully configured ports will be removed from
the Configure Ports listing.
