You can also configure remote agents for the ACS Solution Engine.

About Network Configuration

The appearance of the page that you see when you click Network Configuration differs according to the network-configuration selections that you made in the Interface Configuration section.

The tables that might appear in this section are:

•AAA Clients—This table lists each AAA client that is configured on the network, together with its IP address and associated protocol.

If you are using Network Device Groups (NDGs), this table does not appear on the initial page, but is accessed through the Network Device Group table. For more information about this interface configuration, see Displaying Advanced Options, page 2-5.

•AAA Servers—This table lists each AAA server that is configured on the network together with its IP address and associated type. After installation, this table automatically lists the machine on which ACS is installed. In ACS SE, the name of the machine is listed as self.

If you are using Network Device Groups (NDGs), this table does not appear on the initial page, but is accessed through the Network Device Group table. For more information about this interface configuration, see Displaying Advanced Options, page 2-5.
