If dierent than the Device Relay, set the following values for Appliance Relay Server (upload):
Note
Use the Same as Device Relay Server option if the Relay Server connection address and login
credentials will always be the same for both the AirDefense appliance and the device. The
option to unsynchronized these configuration fields will only be needed in cases where the
address of the Relay Server will depend upon whether it is being accessed by the device or
the AirDefense appliance. This type scenario will be encountered in network deployments
where NATing is utilized in such a way that the relay server address will depend upon where
the accessing device is located on the network.
• Enter the Host name of the relay server AirDefense uses to access and fetch device configurations.
Normally, this is the IP address of the relay server. This can be an internal relay server (your
appliance) or an external relay server.
• Select a protocol from the drop-down menu (FTP, TFTP, SFTP, SCP, HTTP, or HTTPS). If you are
using your appliance as the relay server, you can only use FTP or SFTP.
• Specify the Path AirDefense uses to upload information. You should either leave the path blank or
use root (/). Use /pub if using your appliance as a relay server.
• Define the Port AirDefense uses to connect to the Appliance Relay Server. If you are using your
appliance as the relay server, use port 21 when FTP is the selected protocol or port 22 when SFTP is
the selected protocol.
• Enter the Username needed to update the Appliance Relay Server used by AirDefense.
• Enter the Password required to update the Appliance Relay Server used by AirDefense.
Import Relay Server Information
You can import relay server information using the Import Parameters button. Comma delimited files are
used to import relay server information. The format of the file is:
relay_params,server,folderpath,deviceHost,deviceProtocol,devicePath,devicePort,deviceUsern
ame,
devicePassword,applianceHost,applianceProtocol,appliancePath,appliancePort,applianceUserna
me,
appliancePassword
Note
Although the above format is shown on multiple lines, each import entry must be one line
with no line breaks or carriage returns.
There are dierent ways to create a comma delimited file but the most trouble-free way is to use a text
editor, such as Notepad.
Things to Remember:
• The first field for importing relay server information must be relay_params.
• At this time, the only valid server name is localhost.
• Servers must be specified in pairs. You must specify a Device Relay Server and an Appliance Relay
Server in one entry.
