Resetting SIC on a Security Gateway or VSX Gateway (VS0)

The procedure to reset SIC on a Security Gateway or VSX Gateway (VS0) has these basic steps:

1. Initialize SIC on the gateway.
2. Initialize SIC in SmartDashboard.
3. Make sure that Trust is established on the gateway.

To initialize SIC on the Gateway:

1. Use a serial console to connect to the gateway.
2. Enter Expert mode.
3. Find out which SGM is the SMO:

   > asg stat –i tasks

4. Run:

   # g_cpconfig sic init <activation_key>

   Notes

   • The SIC Reset procedure lasts about 3 to 5 minutes.
   • During the SIC reset procedure, on a Security Gateway, all SGMs other than the SMO reboot.
   • On a VSX Gateway: Do the next steps immediately when this procedure is done.

To initializing SIC in SmartDashboard:

1. On the gateway object, open the General Properties > Communication window.
2. Click Reset.
3. Enter the same activation key used when you initialized SIC on the gateway.
4. Click Initialize.
5. On a VSX Gateway:
   1. Install the policy on the VSX Gateway.
   2. At the serial console connection to the gateway, press c to complete the procedure.

      Note - At this stage, all SGMs except the SMO reboot.

To make sure that Trust is established on the Gateway:

Run:

# g_cpconfig sic state
