Step 2 - Configuration in Smart-1 Cloud

This is a step in the Smart-1 Cloud Deployment.

Part 1 - Prerequisites for Smart-1 Cloud

  1. Register to the Infinity Portal.

    In the Infinity Portal Administration Guide, see the chapter "Getting Started":

    1. Follow the section "How to Create an Account".

    2. Follow the section "How to Log in to your Account".

  2. Enable the Smart-1 Cloud Application:

    1. On the Infinity Portal top left corner, click the Menu button.

    2. In the Quantum column, click Smart-1 Cloud.

    3. Approve the service terms and privacy policy and check the box:

      I accept the Infinity Portal terms of service and the privacy policy

    4. Click Try Now.

    5. The Infinity Portal sends an email to your email account with confirmation of your Smart-1 Cloud registration.

    6. After you approve your registration, the Smart-1 Cloud page automatically refreshes, and you can start to use the application.

  3. Create and Deploy a New Smart-1 Cloud:

    1. Click Get Started.

    2. Enter the required information to configure the service:

      Field

      Description

      Service Identifier

      The service identifier that you enter is used as a prefix for the unique identifier generated by the application.

      Desired Log Retention Period

      • The desired retention period to keep the logs.

      • Logs are deleted after the defined period.

      • If the available storage space cannot maintain the desired log retention period, Smart-1 Cloud sends a notification to your email.

        When the storage is full, Smart-1 Cloud deletes old logs.

    3. Click Create.

      The Preparing Account window opens.

      It takes 1-2 minutes to create a new service.

      After the process is complete, an email is sent to your account.

  4. In your User Center Account, add your Smart-1 Cloud Account.

    As a result, Smart-1 Cloud can fetch all licenses and contracts automatically.

  5. If you configured Manual Proxy ARP (sk30197) and Manual NAT rules, then you must follow these steps in SmartConsole:

    1. Click Menu > Global properties.

    2. In the left tree, click NAT - Network Address Translation.

    3. Select Automatic ARP configuration.

    4. Select Merge manual proxy ARP configuration.

    5. Click OK.

Part 2 - Configure Object Sharing

  1. Connect with the Desktop SmartConsole to Smart-1 Cloud:

    1. Download the SmartConsole package from one of these places in the Smart-1 Cloud Application:

      • From the left navigation panel, click the Welcome view.

      • If you downloaded the ZIP file, extract it (refer to sk116158).

    4. Open SmartConsole.

      See the R81.20 SmartConsole Online Help for information about how to use SmartConsole.

      To open the relevant help page for a SmartConsole screen, press the F1 key.

    5. From the server drop-down list, select Cloud.

    6. Enter the Management Connection Token.

    From this point, objects configured in SmartConsole on the on-premises Management Server appear in Infinity Portal as assets.

What is Next?

Follow Step 3 - Configuration on Security Gateways.

Important - Connect the Security Gateways to Smart-1 Cloud only after you configure the Security Gateways for SD-WAN. This makes sure the Security Gateway objects automatically get the correct interface topology.

To connect a Security Gateway to Smart-1 Cloud, follow the Quantum Smart-1 Cloud Administration Guide > Chapter "Connecting Gateways and Clusters".
