Network and Security Manager Administration Guide

The GUI Server receives logs from the Device Server on a single inbound port. When you
use the UI to access NSM functionality, you connect using the same single port and access
the databases stored on the GUI Server. The GUI Server communicates with the Device
Server using SSP, a secure, proprietary, TCP-based connection that encrypts and
authenticates all traffic.
Table 5 on page 12 describes the processes that the GUI Server runs when you start it.

Device Server
The Device Server handles communication between the GUI Server and the device,
collects data from the managed devices on your network, formats configuration
information sent to your managed device, and consolidates log and event data.
You can install the GUI Server and the Device Server on the same physical computer, or
separate computers. Communication between a physically separate GUI Server and the
Device Server is an encrypted TCP connection to a default port. The Device Server
connects to the GUI Server using the default port; you can change the default port by
editing the configuration files for both servers.
If the GUI Server computer and the Device Server computer have a firewall between
them, you must configure a rule on that firewall to permit NSM management traffic.
Table 6 on page 13 describes the processes that the Device Server runs when you start
it:
Description
GUI Server Manager receives and responds to requests from the
NSM UI. The GUI Server Manager forwards requests to the GUI
Directive Handler or Device Directive Handler depending on the type
of request for further processing.
GUI Directive Handler handles all directives or instructions from the
NSM UI that require reading, writing, or modifying of the local data
store.
GUI Server Status Monitor monitors the status of the processes that
run on the GUI Server.
Master Controller forwards configuration data to the NSM UI (for
viewing) or to the local data store (for later retrieval).
GUI Server License Manager is responsible for license storage,
retrieval, and validation.
GUI Server Web Proxy responds to https requests.
