Communication

In this section, you can assign one or several relay machines to the target endpoints, then configure the proxy preferences for the communication between the target endpoints and GravityZone.

Endpoint Communication Assignment

When multiple communication servers are installed on the GravityZone appliance, you can assign the target computers with one or several communication servers via policy. Available relay endpoints, which serve as communication servers, are also taken into account.

To assign communication servers to target computers:

  1. In the Endpoint Communication Assignment table, click the Name field. The list of detected communication servers is displayed.

  2. Select an entity.

  3. Click the add_inline.png Add button at the right side of the table.

    The communication server is added to the list. All target computers will communicate with Control Center via the specified communication server.

  4. Follow the same steps to add several communication servers, if available.

  5. You can configure the communication servers priority using the up and down arrows available at the right side of each entity. The communication with target computers will be carried out through the entity placed on top of the list. When the communication with this entity cannot be done, the next one will be taken into account.

  6. To delete one entity from the list, click the corresponding delete_inline.png Delete button.

Communication between Endpoints and Relays / GravityZone

In this section, you can configure the proxy preferences for the communication between the target endpoints and the assigned relay machines, or between target endpoints and the GravityZone appliance (when no relay has been assigned):

  • Use previous settings, to use the same proxy settings defined with the installation package.

  • Use proxy defined in the General section, to use the proxy settings defined in the current policy, under General > Settings section.

  • Do not use proxy, when the target endpoints do not communicate with the specific GravityZone components via proxy.

Communication between Endpoints and Bitdefender Cloud Services

In this section, you can configure the proxy preferences for the communication between the target endpoints and Bitdefender Bitdefender Cloud Services (requiring internet connection):

  • Keep installation settings, to use the same proxy settings defined with the installation package.

  • Use proxy defined in the General section, to use the proxy settings defined in the current policy, under General > Settings section.

  • Do not use, when the target endpoints do not communicate with the specific GravityZone components via proxy.

If the option Use proxy defined in the General section is selected, but the proxy is not configured, then the connected relay will be used as a proxy.
