Scenario 4: Two Local Area Networks Connected Using the Internet

In Scenario 4, the controller and agent computers are located in different local area networks that are connected using the Internet.

Working on the controller computer, you can install and uninstall the Silk Performer Agent software on the remote agent computer (<agent name>).

You must know the port to which the agent software responds (<port number>). By default, the agent uses port 19200 for non-secured communication, and port 19201 for secure communication. You must also know the password by which the agent software is protected from unauthorized access, if one is in use (<password>).

To install or re-install agent software, execute the following command:
PerfRsManager -i -host <agent name> -port <port number>
              -pwdService <password> -ssl -log
To uninstall agent software, execute the following command:
PerfRsManager -r -host <agent name> -port <port number>
              -pwdService <password> -ssl -log

If the agent software responds to the default port, you can omit the -port parameter. Also, if you do not require communication over a secure communication channel, omit the -ssl option.

The preceding commands generate log files with detailed information about the installation or uninstall process. If you do not want to generate these log files, omit the -log parameter.
