7. Configuration Settings of the SMC
The configuration of the SMC is divided into the following sections:
•
General
•
Server
•
Internet Update Manager
•
Alert Manager
The configuration allows defining general settings of the SMC. If you should use a
proxy server it can be entered beneath “configuration settings”
“Internet
Update Manager” –> “Communication settings”. Further configuration settings
like f. ex. the configuration of the “Alert Manager” are explained in the SMC
manual.
8. Installation of the SMC Agents via the SMC Frontend
The SMC agent is responsible for the communication between the SMC Server
and the clients that have to be managed.
The agent has to be installed on the client in addition to the necessary virus
protection. This can be done directly via the SMC, manually or by means of a
script.
In order to enable the SMC Agent to communicate with the SMC Server the
following conditions have to be fulfilled:
−
Firewall: If a firewall is used on the client, the following network ports (TCP)
have to be opened:
Out (TCP): 7000, 7001, 7010, 7020, 7021, 7030, 7050, 7051, 7080, 7100.
In (TCP): 7030
Moreover ICMP requests, PING (incoming echo demands) have to be enabled.
−
Guest account: The user account “Guest“ has to be deactivated
−
The simple Filesharing (“Explorer”
“Extras“
“Archive Options”
“View”
“Use simple filesharing” (recommended)) should be deactivated.
