Network Appliance Groups
Use this page to create a target group that will be scanned by a Network Appliance Agent.
Click New Group to create a new target group that will be remotely scanned by one of the
Network Appliance Agents previously installed.
Download Network Agent
Use this page to download the csia.exe file as well as read an explanation on how to install the
Network Appliance Agent.
Example: If you want to scan three different networks (for example Germany, United States,
and United Kingdom) without having to install the Agent in Single Host mode, then you can
install three instances of csia.exe in Network Appliance mode, one on each network.
Afterwards you will be able to scan all the hosts on the three locations at scheduled intervals
by creating the appropriate scan groups in Network Appliance Groups and assigning each
group to its respective and previously installed Network Appliance Agent.
Result: 15 minutes after installing a csia.exe in Network Appliance mode, the Network
Appliance Agent will appear in Scanning > Remote Scanning Via Agents > Network
Appliance Agents.
To specify the target host to be scanned by the Network Appliance Agent, please configure the
scan group in Scanning > Remote Scanning Via Agents > Network Appliance Groups.
Installing the Network Appliance Agent from the command prompt:
>csia.exe -A –i
It is essential that the csia.exe is installed with the correct credentials.
Ensure that the Agent file csia.exe is available in the system that will host the
Agent in Network Appliance mode.
