Chapter 3 Network Configuration

Configuring Remote Agents (ACS Solution Engine Only)

The Add Remote Agent page appears.

Step 3 In the Remote Agent Name box, type a name for the remote agent (up to 32 characters).

Step 4 In the Remote Agent IP Address box, type the IP address of the computer that runs the remote agent.

Step 5 In the Port box, type the number of the TCP port on which the remote agent listens for communication from ACS (up to 6 digits). The default TCP port is 2003.

Note If this port number does not match the port on which the remote agent is configured to listen, ACS cannot communicate with the remote agent. For information about configuring the port number on which the remote agent listens, see the Installation and Configuration Guide for Cisco Secure ACS Remote Agents Release 4.1.

Step 6 From the Network Device Group list, select the NDG to which this remote agent belongs.

Note The Network Device Group list appears only if NDGs are enabled. To enable NDGs, click Interface Configuration > Advanced Options, and then click Network Device Groups.

Step 7 To save your changes and immediately apply them, click Submit + Apply.

Tip To save your changes and apply them later, click Submit. When you are ready to implement the changes, click System Configuration > Service Control, and then click Restart.

Note Restarting the service clears the Logged-in User report and temporarily interrupts all ACS services. The Max Sessions counter is reset to 0.

Editing a Remote Agent Configuration

Use this procedure to edit the settings for a remote agent that you have previously configured.

Note You cannot edit the name of a remote agent. If you want to use a different name for a remote agent, delete the remote agent configuration, create a remote agent configuration by using the new name, and change remote logging and Windows authentication configurations that use the remote agent.

Before You Begin

For descriptions of the options available while editing a remote agent configuration, see Remote Agent Configuration Options, page 3-19.

Note For ACS to communicate with a remote agent, you must ensure that gateway devices between a remote agent and ACS permit communication over the TCP ports used by remote agents. For information about ports used by remote agents, see the Installation and Configuration Guide for Cisco Secure ACS Remote Agents Release 4.1.
