Preface
Cisco Security Manager (Security Manager) enables you to manage security policies on Cisco devices in large, medium, or small networks. You can use shareable objects and policies in Security Manager to manage thousands of devices or only a few. Security Manager also supports multiple configuration views that are optimized for different use cases, supports the provisioning of many platform-specific settings, and provides device grouping capabilities.
This guide does the following:
- Lists hardware and software requirements for installing Security Manager and its related applications.
- Explains important concepts about the software applications that you select for installation and the environment in which you install them.
- Provides instructions for installing Security Manager server and Auto Update Server and for installing dedicated client software for Security Manager.
- Describes what you must do after installation so that you can use your newly installed applications successfully.
- Guides you in understanding and troubleshooting problems that might occur during, or as a result of, installation.
Note Before you install the applications, we recommend that — for the most recent information — you read the release notes on Cisco.com that are most relevant to the actual software components you choose to install. The release notes might contain corrections or additions to this guide or provide other information that affects planning, preparation, installation, or deployment. See Product Documentation.
