question for LsAgent behavior

[lunesolitaire]

Hi,

I would like to know, with LsAgent installed, when a PC/laptop has 2 possible accesses: Internet and LAN to reach our Lansweeper scanner server, moreover, the option "LsAgent only" is enabled in Scanning--LsAgent Scanning

Which path it will take?

the confirmation is important for us to determine if LsAgent will cause a "flood" on our Internet link

Thanks in advance

Hello Lunesolitaire,

Correct, the relay server is used as a fallback and will be only used if the direct connection fails.

thank you very much!

also,  may I know the  Lansweeper Relay servers addresses  on Internet for LsAgent ?  It may be useful to us to  take a look if there is any impact when thousands of clients are in our lan

I found app.lansweeper.com which is defined for "cloud" service, but i'm not certain

thank you very much

Hello lunesolitaire,
When the name or IP address, of the scanserver, is provided during the installation of the agent, it will use both. It will connect to the scanning server when it is accessible. If not, it will use the relay server. 
It does not really matter if you've set "LsAgent only". This is for both the direct and relay connection.

Thank you FrankSc.  

Just because we have a few thousand devices, and it is important for us to know, when they are in our LAN, the first choice to access our "scanning servers" is the LAN, instead of contacting the "relay server" directly on the internet, otherwise, they will saturate our Internet link.

If I understood what you wrote, LsAgent first uses the Lan access and if it succeeds, it does not use the Internet anymore, is that correct?
