The installation and initial configuration of Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent

Network Agent facilitates the client device's connection with the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. It must be installed on every client device that will be connected to Kaspersky Security Center, the centralized remote management system.

Before you begin installing the Network Agent on Linux devices, you must perform some preparatory steps. For instructions on how to prepare devices for installing Network Agent, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help. The procedure depends on the operating system.

You can perform the installation and initial configuration of Network Agent:

  • Remotely from the administrator's workstation using the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or the Administration Console. The Network Agent is used for remote installation.
  • Using the command line:
    • In silent mode with an answer file. An answer file is a text file that contains a custom set of settings for the installation and initial configuration of Network Agent. For a description of installation options and initial configuration of Network Agent, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help (the "Installing Network Agent for Linux in silent mode (with an answer file)" section).
    • Interactively from an RPM or DEB package depending on your package manager. In this case, after installation, you need to perform the initial configuration of the Network Agent using a script.
