How does this look to the agents and FNMS configuration? Does it appear as two different beacons?

This is a nice, practical solution. It keeps the configuration for the laptop static and simple to support. I am hoping to avoid standing up another beacon; and I confess, it makes me a bit itchy to send data from a core connected laptop to an externally exposed beacon via the internet. If there isn't a way to easily manage a solution that involves existing beacons, this is likely what we will run with. I appreciate the recommendation.

That is an on-prem solution? we are FNMS in the cloud.

My main question isn't about the agent, but the beacons. The agents will have a different problem. What I would like to see is the DMZ beacon be able to answer both DMZ servers as well as the external laptops. The problem is that would mean that the DMZ beacon would need to be referred to in two different ways (an internal IP and an external IP). This is really the primary question. Otherwise, I would likely need to set up a second DMZ beacon. I would rather avoid the overhead of another operational component, but I am not thinking there is a way around it. So the question is, really, has someone with this situation implemented something other than this? As for the agents, typically I don't need a fail over scheme (until now). Core servers can only report to the Core beacon. DMZ Servers can only report to the DMZ Server. You are right, the laptops should primarily report to the Core beacon, then default to the DMZ beacon by the external IP (or the second DMZ beacon if I can't get the first one to work the way I would like), but I want it in that order. I don't really need a priority or selector algorithm to determine the order of beacons each agent should attempt.

That is a reasonable solution, though I would rather keep it to one beacon if possible. If there isn't a supportable way for one beacon to be referred to in two different ways, then a second beacon is the only DMZ based option. Has anyone set up a Beacon to be accessed in two different ways (if that makes any sense)?

We have a standard network configuration, with a Core and a DMZ. All of the internal laptops connect to the Core when they are in the office or use VPN. However, when working from home many do not need to connect via VPN and that leaves the agents we plan to deploy out in the wild with no place to upload the daily inventory. Given that some of these may very well be off the Core network for months, we need a more durable solution. Has anyone created a successful architecture for this scenario? I have plenty of thoughts, but I would rather follow a proven pattern than risk an unproven one. In addition to just how to configure agents/beacons for upload, there is obviously a concern about security. How is this handled in your pattern?

The question is more around the footprint of the executables. Do they change, or is it a text file that may contain information that is relayed when queried about version?

Hello, When a release mentions that it updates the agent number to x.x.x, are there actual changes pushed to the devices? -Jeff

My reports are now showing ' FlexNet Inventory Agent 2019 R1.2' for the updated agents. As I understand, the ARL wasn't updated until Friday (5/24), but we turned on the auto-upgrade on Tuesday (5/21). I'll confirm the ARL release date recognizing the new agent in the future. Thanks for everyone's help, you answered both the question I asked explicitly and implicitly. I appreciate it.

I am trying to create a report to find the specific version of agents in our environment, as in '13.40.12' or '13.20.1076' as opposed to '2019 R1'. The recent agent upgrade didn't change the latter, just the former and I would like to know how widely the agent propagated and where there may be problems.
