Introduction

This document describes how to change the name and the IP address of the Cisco Security Agent (CSA) Management Center (MC).

All Cisco Security Agent policies are configured and deployed through the Cisco Security Agent MC web-based user interface. Cisco Security Agent MC also provides a reporting tool that allows you to generate reports with different views of your network enterprise health and status. The provision of an HTML web-based user interface enables an administrator to access the Cisco Security Agent MC from any machine connected to the Internet and running a web browser.

The Cisco Security Agent MC provides a menu bar for easy navigation among the configurable administrator task items. Configurable items are displayed in drop-down menus that appear when you move the mouse over a category in the menu bar. When you select an item, the properties and status for that item are displayed.

Refer to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents Administration section of Using Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 5.1 for more information on the MC.
