Management server and client

Management server and client

The Management application has two parts: the Server and the Client. The Server is installed on
one machine and stores device-related information; it does not have a user interface. To view
information through a user interface, you must log in to the Server through a Client. The Server and
Clients may reside on the same machine, or on separate machines. If you are running Professional,
the server and the client must be on the same machine.
In some cases, a network may utilize virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can
prohibit communication between Switches and the Servers or Clients. In other words, a Server or
Client can find a Switch, appear to log in, but is immediately logged out because the Switch cannot
reach the Server or Client. To resolve this issue, check to determine if the ports in the table below
need to be opened up in the firewall.
NOTE
Professional edition does not support remote clients.
