Using NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode
If you will be using NetBotz Central to monitor and manage your appliance, and the appliance is located
behind a firewall, NetBotz Central may not be able to communicate directly with the appliance. Placing
the appliance in NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode will cause the appliance to post all monitoring data to a
specified NetBotz Central appliance at a user-specified interval. If desired, SSL encryption can be used
for secure posting of data.
To use NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode:
1. Start the Advanced View and log into the appliance using a User account that has administrator
privileges.
2. Select Advanced > NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode from the Tools pull-down menu. The
NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode Configuration window opens.
3. Specify an Interval between posts value. This determines how frequently the appliance will post
Note
The NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode, Appliance Log, Change Root Password,
and Reboot Appliance menu selections are available only to user accounts that
have administrator privileges. For more information see “Users” on page 137.
