During the preparation stage, complete the following activities:
  • Decide on the ScanMail replication model for the test environment.
    A hub and spokes model is a common ScanMail replication model. In this model, the network administrator configures the ScanMail settings from the hub ScanMail server. Then, the other servers, or spokes, automatically pull the settings from the hub server.
  • Evaluate the possible deployment methods to determine which are suitable for your particular environment.
  • Establish TCP/IP connectivity among all systems in a heterogeneous trial configuration.
  • Send a ping command to each agent system from the hub server and vice versa to verify bidirectional TCP/IP communications.
