Configure a Remote Relay in Quest SMA

Configure Remote Relay – Configure a Quest SMA remote relay with labels, IP targeting, replication, distribution, failover behavior and workstation assignment.

Prerequisites

Configure Remote Relay – Install the KACE agent on a server (or workstation) that will be used on the relay server.

Creating a Label for Remote IPs

Dynamic Label

Then in “Inventory” “Device”, select “Dynamic Label”

Create a filter on IP addresses with “Matches REGEX”

In the REGEX query, enter a text (this field will be manually replaced in the SQL query later)

REGEX

Create the REGEX value by following this link: http://www.analyticsmarket.com/freetools/ipregex

Replication

Then in “Distribution” “Replication” select “Choose Action” and then “New”

Select the server (or workstation) that will be the relay and check “Enabled”

Specify the label for the workstations (created in the previous step) that will use this relay server

Specify the replication periods between the K1000 and the relay
Once the replication is complete, the relay is operational.

Configure Remote Relay – Be careful with the “Failover to Appliance” option. If enabled, workstations can use the K1000 for downloading packages (if not available on the relay). This can cause bandwidth saturation. =>Do not check this option by default
