CSA Agent for Linux

[umesh.padhye]

Wondering if CSA agent for Linux is available yet? If yes, In our scenario we have two web sersers are in DMZ segment and once one is active and other is passive mode and is waiting for failover, question is do I need separate csa agent for active and passive server? or only one csa agent would do it.

Hi umesh,

refer to the data sheet of the CSA agent in the URL below:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps5057/products_data_sheet09186a008033a40f.html

i dont think it is supported in linux as of now. Anybody from cisco can confirm this ? anyway, u need a seperate agent for both the server in your case.

All the best !!

I believe there's one on the way. But as usual with commercial Linux software the issue will be with which distributions are supported. RedHat Enterprise is the favorite, but that's not what we're running...

Hey there -

Look for Linux agent support later this year or at the beginning of next year. As one poster mentioned, there will be support only for certain commercially available deployments.

thanks

Red Hat AS 3.0 will probably be the only officially supported linux distro on CSA 4.5. It will run on some unsupported platforms and the status summary in 4.5 will actually keep track of agents on unsupported platforms.
