Overview

CCC allows you to schedule the pushing of any configuration changes done on managed appliances. The changes can be pushed down either immediately or be scheduled for a later date and time.

Scenario

In this article, we have created a Firewall Rule in which Cyberoam drops all SMTP traffic from LAN to WAN. We then schedule the Rule to be pushed down to all Managed Appliances at the next day after creation.

Configuration

The configuration is to be done from the Web Admin Console using “Administrator” Profile.

Step 1: Create Firewall Rule for Selected Managed Appliances

·         Go to Policy Configuration à Policy à Firewall à Rule à Rule and click Add to create a firewall rule using the given parameters.

Click OK to set appropriate schedule and create the Firewall Rule.

Step 3: Manage Scheduled Task from Scheduler Queue

à Scheduled Task.

 

The Scheduler Queue allows you to Delete or Reschedule the tasks in queue.
