Each device provides ports through which users can access the network.
Cisco EMF is a client-serverenvironmentsupportingvariousdeploymentoptions.

The best configuration for you depends on the number of servers, clients, and
users in your network.

From the Cisco EMF client, you can access another Cisco EMF client or the Cisco
EMF server through a remote X-terminal. You do not need a Cisco EMF client
between your client and the Cisco EMF server, but doing so improves
performance for large or medium deployments.
