Certification Summary

---

As you have learned in this chapter, the CMC acts as the primary administrative utility for IMA-based XP server farms. With the ability to configure properties on the server farm, server, and application administration, the CMC serves as a single seat of administration for MetaFrame XP administrators. As you have learned, the robust scalability of the CMC allows for incorporation of management snap-ins, such as Load Manager and Resource Manager.

It is important for the administrator to understand how the CMC works behind the scenes in its communication with the IMA-based servers in the farm. The ports that Citrix MetaFrame XP servers use to communicate with each other and with the client (2512, 2513, and 1494) are valuable facts to know.
