Configuration Example

You need to install a license on each ETEP that you use. Licenses are linked to the serial number of the ETEP on which they are installed. You cannot install a license intended for one ETEP on a different ETEP.

If you upgrade from a command line-only installation to a full EncrypTight deployment, you can no longer use the command line-only license and must acquire an EncrypTight license.

To add a license from the command line:

1At the command prompt, type configure to enter configuration mode.

2At the config> prompt, type license <string>, where string is the license provided by Customer Support. The license is case sensitive. Enter the license exactly as provided. It will look something like this: 1:0:0508C482:10:258482fab2

To view the ETEP throughput speed:

1 At the command prompt, type show throughput-speed.

Configuration Example

The following example illustrates the commands used for initial setup of the ETEP to configure the following parameters: management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, auto-negotiation, date and time. The autoneg command needs to be configured only if you want to disable auto-negotiation and configure the link speed and flow control manually.

Managing the ETEP

The ETEP can be managed in two ways, depending on the size and complexity of your deployment:

Command Line Interface (CLI)

You can configure the ETEPs for operation and create Layer 2 point-to-point policies using the CLI commands.

To manage the ETEP using the CLI, you can attached a PC directly to the serial port or use any SSH client for a secure remote connection through the Ethernet management port.

EncrypTight Policy and Key Manager™

EncrypTight can distribute keys to a large number of ETEPs. It works for complex mesh, hub and spoke, and multicast networks, as well as in straightforward point-to-point topologies. EncrypTight

EncrypTight Enforcement Point (ETEP) Installation Guide specifications

The Black Box EncrypTight Enforcement Point (ETEP) is a robust solution designed to enhance data security by ensuring that sensitive information is securely transmitted and stored. This article provides a comprehensive installation guide that highlights the main features, technologies, and characteristics of ETEP.

The EncrypTight ETEP operates by providing a secure gateway between different networks. It employs advanced encryption algorithms to safeguard data from potential threats, ensuring that unauthorized access is thwarted. A core feature of the ETEP is its ability to support a range of encryption standards, including AES, RSA, and ECC, thus allowing organizations to choose the most suitable protocols for their specific needs.

One of the standout technologies integrated within the ETEP is its end-to-end encryption capability. This ensures that data remains encrypted during transmission from the sender to the receiver, making it virtually impossible for any third-party entities to decipher the information even if they manage to intercept it.

The ETEP also boasts a user-friendly interface that simplifies installation and configuration processes. Administrators can easily set up the system without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Furthermore, the system is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruption during deployment.

Another critical characteristic of the ETEP is its scalability. As businesses grow and evolve, the ETEP can be easily adjusted to accommodate increased data traffic and changing security requirements. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises.

Moreover, the ETEP employs state-of-the-art threat detection and response mechanisms. It continuously monitors network activity, identifying anomalies that may indicate potential security breaches. This proactive approach ensures that organizations can respond swiftly to threats, thereby minimizing potential damage.

The installation of the Black Box EncrypTight ETEP typically involves the following steps: first, assess the current network architecture; second, select the appropriate hardware and software components; third, configure encryption settings; and finally, conduct thorough testing to ensure the system is functioning as expected.

In conclusion, the Black Box EncrypTight Enforcement Point installation is a crucial step in bolstering an organization’s data security framework. With its advanced features, reliable technologies, and user-centric design, the ETEP stands out as an essential tool for businesses looking to safeguard their sensitive information against ever-evolving cybersecurity threats.
