Integration Goals
Table 2 summarizes the types of integration goals and strategies for meeting them in certain architectural contexts:
Integration Goals All Masters Architecture Master/Local Architecture
Rogue And Client Info enable stats
Rogue containment only ssh access to controllers ssh access to controllers
Rogue And Client

Table 2:
Integration Goals in All Masters or Master/Local Architectures
Key integration points to consider include the following:
l IDS Tracking does not require WMS Offload in an all-master or master/local environment.
l IDS Tracking does require enable stats in a master/local environment.
l WMS Offload will hide the Security Summary tab on master controller’s web interface.
