To account for diverse network configurations, Cisco TMS supports the notion of two
networks that can access Cisco TMS:
networks that can access Cisco TMS:
■
Internal LAN: this is usually the same as your organization's internal network.
■
Public Internet/Behind Firewall: you may have systems that you wish to manage
outside the organization's firewall or proxy. The public hostname used should
resolve to an IP forwarded to the Cisco TMS server's IP address.
outside the organization's firewall or proxy. The public hostname used should
resolve to an IP forwarded to the Cisco TMS server's IP address.
Each system added to Cisco TMS has a Connectivity parameter where you specify which
network identity Cisco TMS should use when communicating with the system.

The fully qualified domain name used to access your Cisco TMS server from the internal, or
local, network. This setting will be used with systems that support DNS and must be
configured correctly. If the server has no hostname that is usable, enter the IP address that
systems would use to reach Cisco TMS.

Update
This functionality allows Cisco TMS to automatically check over a secure link for new
software available for your systems, and notify you of your Service Contract status for your
Cisco Systems. No personal information is sent during this communication except the
system identifying information such as serial numbers and hardware identifiers. If you do not
wish to have Cisco TMS check for software, you can disable this feature. If your network
requires a web proxy to reach the internet, configure the properties for it here.
