Small-Scale Deployment
Installation
This chapter provides the instructions for configuring a gateway or a gateway cluster object,
and Security Policy in SmartConsole.
In addition, see "Large-Scale Deployment Installation" on page55 .
Configuring Gateway and Cluster Objects
This section contains procedures for defining a gateway or a gateway cluster in SmartConsole.
Do the procedures that match your requirements, then install the policy.
Defining a Gateway Object
Options to define a gateway object:
n
Management First
Define the gateway object in SmartConsole before you configure and set up the actual
appliance on site. This is commonly used for remotely deployed appliances or
appliances that connect to the Security Management Server with a dynamic IP address
(assigned by a DHCP server or an ISP), as the IP address is not known at the time of the
configuration of the object in SmartConsole. You can prepare a policy that the appliance
pulls when it is configured.
Workflow:
1. In SmartConsole:
a. Create the required objects and configure the required settings:
Before you enable the IPSec VPN Software Blade, you must configure the
VPN community and optionally, a VPN domain.
b. Create the necessary gateway or cluster objects for your appliances.
c. Install the Security Policy on the gateway object.
2. Configure the appliance with the First Time Configuration Wizard.
Alternatively, you can use a USB drive to quickly configure many appliances
without the First Time Configuration Wizard.
For more details, see "Deploying from a USB Drive or SD Card" on page22 .
3. In SmartProvisioning, manage the gateway object settings.
