Using IPS with VSX

To enable IPS on Virtual Systems:

1. If applicable, configure proxy settings for the VSX Gateway (VS0):
   1. In SmartConsole, from the Gateways & Servers view, double-click the VSX Gateway (VS0).
   2. From the navigation tree, select Network Management > Proxy.
   3. Configure the proxy settings, and click OK.
2. Enable IPS and on the required Virtual Systems.

   Note - You do not have to enable it on the VSX Gateway (VS0).

3. Configure the Threat Prevention Policies for the relevant Virtual Systems.
4. Install the Threat Prevention Policies (and Access Control Policies if needed) on the relevant Virtual Systems.

The Security Management Server / Domain Management Server downloads the updates for IPS Software Blade and then transfers them to the VSX Gateway during policy installation.

For more about IPS, see the R80.30 Threat Prevention Administration Guide.
