Configuring Security Policy
This section describes how to work with Security Policy in large-scale deployment.
Installing a Security Policy
Use this procedure to prepare the policy for automatic installation when the gateway connects.
Note - If the Quantum Spark appliance is physically set up and configured, when you
successfully complete this step, the policy is pushed to the gateway. For a list of
possible statuses, see
"Viewing the Policy Installation Status" on the next page
.
At the end of the Install Policy process, the policy status for a Quantum Spark appliance that is
not yet set up is "waiting for first connection." This implies that trusted communication is not yet
established between the Security Management Server and the Quantum Spark appliance.
When the gateway connects, it establishes trust and attempts to install the policy
automatically.
To install a Security Policy in SmartProvisioning GUI:
1. Click Policy > Install from the menu.
The Install Policy window opens.
2. Select the installation targets - the Quantum Spark appliance Security Gateways on
which to install the policy and the policy components (such as Network Security or QoS).
By default, all gateways that are managed by the Security Management Server are
available for selection.
3. In the Installation Mode section, select how the Security Policy should be installed:
n
On each selected gateway independently.
n
On all selected gateways, if it fails do not install on gateways of the same version.
4. Click OK.
The Installation Process window shows the status of the Network Security Policy for the
selected target.
Important - If the Quantum Spark appliance object is defined by the appliance is
not set up and it is in the "Waiting for first connection status", you see a
message that says "Installation completed successfully". This means that the
policy is successfully prepared for installation.
Continue tracking the status of the Security Policy installation with the Policy Installation and
the status bar.
