How Real Time for McAfee ePO provides current information
The McAfee ePO server prompts the Real Time for McAfee ePO server to run a script on all managed
systems with a Real Time for McAfee ePO client.
Information is then communicated back to your McAfee ePO server using an optimized communication
topology that delivers results from thousands of machines in just a few seconds. When your results
are returned, you can use the management features to take action on any or all systems. Using Real
Time for McAfee ePO is a three‑step process:
1
Ask a question about a system or a group of systems.
2
Get results from the question.
3
Take action on the results. (Optional)
Real Time for McAfee ePO uses peer‑to‑peer architecture that relies on a point‑to‑point protocol. This
functionality adds and removes clients as they come online without interaction from an administrator.
Each client uses a TCP port (by default, 18742) to communicate with the Real Time for McAfee ePO
server. A single TCP port is used for communication between clients. This client‑to‑client
communication channel makes the Real Time for McAfee ePO solution efficient and reduces the Wide
Area Network (WAN) load.
To ensure optimal operations, clients must be able to communicate with their peers.
