Assigning distribution points manually
Kaspersky Security Center Linux allows you to manually assign devices to act as distribution points.
We recommend that you assign distribution points automatically. In this case, Kaspersky Security Center Linux will select on its own which devices must be assigned distribution points. However, if you have to opt out of assigning distribution points automatically for any reason (for example, if you want to use exclusively assigned servers), you can assign distribution points manually after you calculate their number and configuration.
Devices functioning as distribution points must be protected, including physical protection, against any unauthorized access.
To manually assign a device to act as distribution point:
- In the main menu, click the settings icon (
) next to the name of the required Administration Server.The Administration Server properties window opens.
- On the General tab, select the Distribution points section.
- Select the Manually assign distribution points option.
- Click the Assign button.
- Select the device that you want to make a distribution point.
When selecting a device, keep in mind the operation features of distribution points and the requirements set for the device that acts as distribution point.
- Select the administration group that you want to include in the scope of the selected distribution point.
- Click the OK button.
The distribution point that you have added will be displayed in the list of distribution points, in the Distribution points section.
- Click the newly added distribution point in the list to open its properties window.
- Configure the distribution point in the properties window:
- The General section contains the settings of interaction between the distribution point and client devices.
- In the Scope section, specify administration groups to which the distribution point will distribute updates.
- In the Source of updates section, you can select a source of updates for the distribution point:
- In the Internet connection settings subsection, you can specify the internet access settings:
- In the KSN Proxy section, you can configure the application to use the distribution point to forward KSN requests from the managed devices:
- In the Connection gateway section, you can configure the distribution point to act as a gateway for connection between Network Agent instances and Administration Server:
- Configure domain controller polling by the distribution point.
- Configure the polling of IP ranges by the distribution point.
- In the Advanced section, specify the folder that the distribution point must use to store distributed data.
- Click the OK button.
The selected devices act as distribution points.
