A Top Level Relay is a relay that directly communicates with the BigFix Server and has other relays as its children. A Top Level Relay has no limit as to the number of relays they can manage, but it is recommended to have no more than 1000 relays per Top Level Relay for optimal performance. When designing a relay hierarchy, the BigFix Administrator should consider the following factors:

• The network bandwidth and latency between the relays and the server
• The number and size of the fixlets, actions, and reports that are exchanged between the relays and the server
• The CPU and memory resources of the relays and the server
• The relay affiliation and selection settings of the clients and the relays
• The encryption and decryption of the client reports by the relays and the server

To perform a BigFix installation with a new serial number, you need to have a license authorization file from the BigFix License Key Center site. This file contains the information about your license purchase and the serial number. You need to enter thisfile during the installation process to request and get the license certificate file (license.crt) and the private key file (license.pvk). These two files together complete your license. You also generate the masthead file (masthead.afxm) during the installation, which contains the information about your BigFix deployment. References:
