This section covers how to view, configure, and edit nodes and their
associated interfaces, and how to create node groups. Connecting to
nodes is covered briefly. See Raritan's CommandCenter Secure
Gateway User Guide for details on connecting to nodes.

Nodes and Interfaces Overview
About Nodes
Each node represents a target that is accessible through CC-SG, via
either In-Band (direct IP) or Out-of Band (connected to a Raritan device)
methods. For example, a node can be a server in a rack connected to a
Raritan KVM over IP device, a server with an HP iLO card, a PC on the
network running VNC, or a piece of networking infrastructure with a
remote serial management connection.
You can manually add nodes to CC-SG after you have added the
devices to which they are connected. Nodes can also be created
automatically by selecting the Configure all ports checkbox on the Add
Device screen when you are adding a device. This option allows CC-SG
to automatically add all device ports, and add a node and an out-of-band
KVM or serial interface for each port. You can edit these nodes, ports,
and interfaces at any time.
