To account for diverse network configurations, Cisco TMS supports the notion of two networks
that can access Cisco TMS:
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.

forwarded to the Cisco TMS server's IP address.
Each system added to Cisco TMS has a Connectivity parameter where you specify which net-
work identity Cisco TMS should use when communicating with the system.

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 Sys-
tems. 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.
