Chapter 4 Quick Start Configuration

Build an Agent Kit

The Cisco Security Agent

Users must have administrator privileges on their systems to install the Cisco Security Agent software.

The Cisco Security Agent installs on supported Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms. (Note that on Solaris systems there is no agent user interface. See Appendix A in the User Guide for information on the Solaris agent utility.)

Once users successfully download and install Cisco Security Agents, they can optionally perform a reboot for full agent functionality.

When the system restarts, the agent service starts immediately and the flag icon appears in the system tray (if end user systems are configured to have an agent UI). At this time, the agent automatically and transparently registers with CSA MC. Agents are immediately enforcing rules.

To open the agent user interface, end users can double-click on the flag icon in their system tray. The user interface opens on their desktop.
