Cisco Cisco Security Manager 4.0 Guía De Instalación

with the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS). There is useful deployment information 
about RME included in the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution Deployment Guide, although 
be aware that some information does not apply in the case of RME bundled with Security Manager. 

For more information about RME, refer to the documentation located at:

Performance Monitor 4.0 

Performance Monitor is a health and performance monitoring application with a special emphasis 
on security devices and services. Performance Monitor supports the ability to proactively detect 
network performance issues before they become critical; helps identify portions of the network 
which are overloaded and potentially require extra resources; and provides rich historical health and 
performance information for after-the-fact investigations and analyses. Performance Monitor 
supports monitoring remote-access VPN, site-to-site VPN, firewall, web server load-balancing and 
SSL termination. Performance Monitor uses a browser-based, graphical user interface and requires 
Common Services 3.3. For more information about Performance Monitor, refer to the 
documentation located at 

Cisco CSA 5.2.0.282 

This is a stand-alone host security agent software that is installed on Security Manager server. This 
component is installable only on Windows 2003 32-bit environment. Security Manager installation 
will automatically detect the OS and install this software if it is supported.

Other applications are available from Cisco that integrate with Security Manager to provide additional 
features and benefits:

Cisco Security Monitoring Analysis and Response System (MARS) 

Security Manager supports policy <> event cross-linkages with MARS for firewall and IPS. Using 
the Security Manager client you highlight specific firewall rules or IPS signatures and request to see 
the events related to those rules or signatures, respectively. Using the MARS interface you can select 
firewall or IPS events and request to see the matching rule or signature in Security Manager. These 
policy <> event cross-linkages are especially useful for network connectivity, firewall rule 
troubleshooting, identifying unused rules, and signature tuning activities. The policy <> event 
cross-linkage feature is explained in detail in the User Guide for Cisco Security Manager 4.0. For 
more information about MARS you can visit 

.

Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) 

You can optionally configure Security Manager to use ACS for authentication and authorization of 
Security Manager users. ACS supports defining custom user profiles for fine-grained role based 
authorization control (RBAC) and the ability to restrict users to specific sets of devices. For details 
on configuring Security Manager and ACS integration refer to the Installation Guide for Cisco 
Security Manager 4.0. For more information about ACS you can visit

Cisco CNS Configuration Engine 

Security Manager supports the use of Cisco Configuration Engine 3.0 as a mechanism for deploying 
device configurations. Security Manager deploys the delta configuration file to the Cisco 
Configuration Engine, where it is stored for later retrieval from the device. Devices, such as Cisco 
IOS routers, PIX and ASA firewalls that use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, 
contact the Cisco Configuration Engine for configuration (and image) updates. Security Manager 
also supports management of devices that have static IP address via CNS configuration engine. In
