IBM Tivoli and Cisco manual Server communication configuration window

9.The server communication configuration window, shown in Figure 6-78,is used to provide the client with the location information of the server. In the Server host name field insert the fully qualified name of the Security Compliance Manager server (or IP address). The default value for the Server connection port field is 1951. Unless you have selected a different port number during the server installation, accept the default.

Tip: When using a fully qualified domain name, it is always a good idea to check the DNS names resolution by opening a command prompt window and trying to ping the server by name.

If you selected the push mode in the previous step, you will be given an option to indicate whether the client uses DHCP. This is mandatory for clients using

DHCP but we recommend checking this option even on clients using a static IP address, as this results in the generation of a 16-byte unique identifier (fingerprint) for the client.
