Getting Started 3 Modify the gateway IP address in the second line. Please take the format of the following illustration as an example (where 192.168.0.106 is the IP address of the gateway). 4 Save your modifications and close this file. When rebooted, the agent will search for the gateway according to your specified IP address in the Agent.cfg file. Note 1: The agents in the NAT environment must be configured as described above. Note 2: As for the agents that have successfully finished one task at least, the IP address of the gateway has been added into the original format of the Agent.cfg file on these agents. Hence you do not need to manually configure these agents again. 50 Client Discovery
