This chapter introduces the essential functions of RiverMaster, describes
Aurorean Virtual Network system status information displayed on the main
interface, and summarizes the steps required to use RiverMaster to configure
your Aurorean Virtual Network for the first time.
RiverMaster Overview
When RiverMaster is installed on your PC, the computer becomes a
“management station” for the Aurorean Virtual Network, receiving dynamic
updates from Aurorean Virtual Network systems and making immediate
configuration changes. All data displayed by RiverMaster is retrieved from
databases residing on the Aurorean Policy Server or from incoming messages
from either the Aurorean Policy Server or Aurorean Network Gateway; no
data is stored locally on your PC’s hard disk.
Figure 5 illustrates the interaction between the Aurorean Policy Server,
Aurorean Network Gateway, and RiverMaster PC.
