Installing Sentriant AG
When you install the Sentriant AG software for the first time, you need to put the Sentriant AG CD
directly into the computer that will be the Sentriant AG server (MS or ES). You cannot install any other
software on this computer. Installing the Sentriant AG software also installs the operating system (OS)
that Sentriant AG uses. This OS is hardened making it very secure.
CAUTION
Installing third-party software on the Sentriant AG server is not supported. If you install additional software on the
Sentriant AG server, you will have to remove it in order to troubleshoot any Sentriant AG issues, and it will likely be
partially or fully overwritten during Sentriant AG release upgrades or patch installs, compromising the third-party
software functionality. Additionally, installing third-party software and/or modifying the Sentriant AG software may
violate your license agreement. Please refer to the Extreme Networks, Inc. EULA, which can be found in the
Sentriant AG Users Guide.
There are two scenarios for Sentriant AG installation:
● Single-server installation—Install Sentriant AG as a single-server installation, where the MS and the
ES are both on the same server. The ES is automatically joined to an Enforcement cluster. The high
availability (HA) and load balancing (LB) functions are not available with this installation option.
● Multiple-server installation—Install Sentriant AG as a multiple-server installation where the MS
and the ES or ESs are on different servers. One or more ESs are joined to a specified Enforcement
cluster in the user interface. You must have two or more ESs joined to an Enforcement cluster for HA
or LB functionality.
After you install Sentriant AG, you need to use a computer (other than the MS or ES) with a browser for
configuration and daily operation tasks.
See the Sentriant AG Users Guide for more information on HA and LB.
