Note

For procedures to follow in a NAT deployment, see Adding an Appliance in a NAT Deployment (Using the Appliance) .

Prerequisites

  • Admin access to the Central Management System appliance

  • Unique hostname for each appliance being added

  • Remote user credentials. This is a managed appliance "admin" user that the Central Management System appliance uses to log in to the appliance to establish the connection. See User Authentication for details about configuring the remote user.
