Security Management Server Connection

For Centrally managed appliances only:

After you set a one-time password for the Security Management Server and the appliance, you can connect to the Security Management Server to establish trust between the Security Management Server and the appliance.

To connect to the Security Management Server, select one of these:

• Connect to the Security Management Server now.

• Connect to the Security Management Server later.

If you select to connect now, enter the data for these fields:

• Management address - Enter the IP address or host name of the Security Management Server.

• Connect - When you successfully connect to the Security Management Server, the security policy will automatically be fetched and installed.

• If the Security Management Server is deployed behind a 3rd-party NAT device, select Always use the above address to connect to the Security Management Server. Manually enter the IP address or the host name of the appliance should connect to reach the Security Management Server.

  If you enter an IP address, it will override the automatic mechanism that determines the routable IP address of the Security Management Server for each appliance.

  When you provide a host name, it will be saved, and the Security Gateway will automatically update the resolved IP address if any changes occur. You can edit this configuration later in the Home > Security Management page of the WebUI.

  If you do not select this checkbox and you use a host name to fetch the policy, when the policy is fetched, the Security Management Server IP is set to the IP address in the policy.

  Select where to send logs:

  • Send logs to same address - The logs are sent to the IP address entered on this page for the Security Management Server.

  • Send logs to - Enter the IP address of a log server.

  • Send logs according to policy - The logs are sent according to the log server definitions that are defined in the policy.
