This appendix describes the client/server and secure connectivity relationships used among the different applications of the Cisco MGC, BAMS, and HSI.

Client/Server and Secure Connectivity Relationships

The following figures show the client/server and secure connectivity relationships used among the different applications of the Cisco MGC, BAMS, and HSI.

In a network containing Cisco MGC platforms and BAMS platforms, the Cisco MGC platform is considered to be a server system to BAMS. The BAMS platform is a client of the Cisco MGC platform. This means that in the current, non-secure interface environment, to transfer files from the Cisco MGC to BAMS, the BAMS system invokes the FTP program which talks to an FTP daemon process on the Cisco MGC platform.

The following table explains the letters and acronyms used in these figures:

Acronym/ Abbreviation	Description
C	Client
S	Server
SCP	Secure Copy
SFTP	Secure File Transfer
SSH	Secure Shell

Secure Connectivity Among Cisco PGW 2200 Applications

The following figure illustrates the client/server relationship and the secure connectivity used among the different application types of the Cisco PGW 2200 and its network management elements. Note that Cisco MNM-PT has SSH and SFTP interfaces to HSI.

Note For simplicity, redundant platforms are not shown in this figure. The secure connectivity among the different application types and the redundant platforms is the same.

Secure Connectivity Between Cisco MGC Application Platforms

The following figure illustrates the client/server relationship and the secure connectivity used between two Cisco MGC application platforms operating as a redundant pair.

Secure Connectivity Between BAMS Application Platforms

The following figure illustrates the client/server relationship and the secure connectivity used between two BAMS application platforms operating as a redundant pair.

Secure Connectivity Between BAMS and Cisco MGC Application Platforms

The following figure illustrates the client/server relationship and the secure connectivity used when one redundant BAMS pair controls multiple Cisco MGC application platforms.

Note For simplicity, the redundant Cisco MGC application platforms are not shown. The secure connectivity between the redundant BAMS pair and the redundant Cisco MGC application platforms is the same.
