Agent Host Configuration

To facilitate communication between the Cisco PIX Security Appliance and the RSA Authentication Manager / RSA SecurID Appliance, an Agent Host record must be added to the RSA Authentication Manager database and RADIUS Server database if using RADIUS. The Agent Host record identifies the Cisco PIX Security Appliance within its database and contains information about communication and encryption.

To create the Agent Host record, you will need the following information.

•Hostname

•IP Addresses for all network interfaces

•RADIUS Secret (When using RADIUS Authentication Protocol)

When adding the Agent Host Record, you should configure the Cisco PIX Security Appliance as a Communication Server. This setting is used by the RSA Authentication Manager to determine how communication with the Cisco PIX Security Appliance will occur.

Note: Hostnames within the RSA Authentication Manager / RSA SecurID

Appliance must resolve to valid IP addresses on the local network.

Please refer to the appropriate RSA Security documentation for additional information about Creating, Modifying and Managing Agent Host records.
