Agents

When the installation has completed and you’ve rebooted the system, a

Management Center for Cisco Security Agents [version number] shortcut icon is

placed on your desktop. Double-clicking this icon launches the MC in your

default browser.

To access CSA MC locally on the system hosting the CSA MC software:

• Double-click the shortcut icon added to your desktop during the

installation. This launches the management console login screen in your

default browser.

Note See Initiating Secure Communications, page 3-44 if you cannot connect to CSA

MC.

To access CSA MC from a remote location,

• Launch a browser application on the remote host and enter the following:

http://<management center system hostname>.<domain>

in the Address or Location field (depending on the browser you’re using)

to access the Login view.

For example, enter http://stormcenter.cisco.com

Note In this example, CSA MC is installed on a host system with the name stormcenter.
