When a network configuration joins up LANs in multiple locations using a WAN (in a corporate network, for example), firewalls are installed at the contact between the WAN and LANs to improve security by controlling unnecessary communications.
With this kind of network configuration, the networks inside each LAN need to be able to be administered from outside the firewalls.
Operations in firewall environments
When Systemwalker Operation Manager is used in a firewall environment, Systemwalker Operation Manager servers in the firewall environment can be monitored and operated using a web browser, as shown in the following configuration diagram. In this configuration, each Systemwalker Operation Manager server in the firewall environment should also be a Web server.
Note
Jobs should be registered from a Systemwalker Operation Manager client inside each LAN.
For information about the functions available from the web browser, refer to "2.15 Using Systemwalker from a Web Browser". For more information about the environment definitions required for monitoring, refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Installation Guide.
