DNS names

Carillon requires two web sites: one for management portal and one for Agent Gateway web service
Depending on IIS configuration separate IP addresses, ports or separate host header names are required for web sites

Following are just examples of host header names that can be registered for web sites:

  • cgw.dns.domain for Centero Agent Gateway

If host headers are used to separate web sites, then create DNS alias (CNAME) records that point to actual server FQDN name where web sites will be installed. DNS host (A) records can be also used.
