SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Administrator’s Guide
Adding a New Agent Friendly Name
The Add New Agent feature within the Web Management Interface allows the administrator to
add friendly names for agents to SonicWALL CDP. SonicWALL CDP recognizes agents by
agent name, which is the same as the computer name. Follow the tasks in this section to add
a friendly name for an agent whenever you have a new server, laptop or PC that you would like
to backup using SonicWALL CDP.
Adding an agent to a SonicWALL CDP appliance is accomplished by installing the Agent
software on the agent computer, then launching it and connecting to the appliance. For
instructions on installing the Agent software on a client computer, refer to the
SonicWALL CDP
Agent User’s Guide .

Computer Name tab.
Step 4
Type a descriptive name for the agent in the Friendly Name field.
Step 5
