36 Installing and Setting Up the CMC
Your CMC and the management station where you use your browser must be
on the same network, which is called the management network. Depending on
your security requirements, the management network can be an isolated,
highly secure network.
You must ensure that security measures on the management network, such as
firewalls and proxy servers, do not prevent your Web browser from accessing
the CMC.
Also, be aware that some browser features can interfere with connectivity or
performance, especially if the management network does not have a route to
the Internet. If your management station is running a Windows operating
system, there are Internet Explorer settings that can interfere with
connectivity even when you are using a command line interface to access the
management network.
Proxy Server
If you have a proxy server for browsing and it does not have access to the
management network, you can add the management network addresses to the
browser’s exception list. This instructs the browser to bypass the proxy server
when accessing the management network.
