RGVI
The RGVI mechanism is used when the management application and Ranger Gateway software are
installed on different servers, as illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 8-3. RGVI Architecture
The RGVI mechanism makes use of a thin RGVI client, installed on the management application server.
The RGVI client intercepts traffic destined for managed devices, and relays this traffic to the Ranger
Gateway software using a UDP-based communication protocol.
The primary advantages of RGVI are as follows:
•
The processor/memory footprint of the RGVI client is considerably less than the Ranger
Gateway software.
•
The RGVI client can be installed on some operating systems for which the Ranger Gateway
software is not currently supported.
The internal architecture and operation of the RGVI mechanism is illustrated in the following figure.
