NOTE

ETEMS will not save a default configuration that contains an error or an invalid entry. The OK button is disabled if an error is detected. ETEMS indicates the tab and the field that contains the error with .

Restoring the ETEMS Default Configurations

For each product family/software version combination, you can replace a custom default configuration with the ETEMS factory default configuration. The following items are unaffected by restoring the factory default configuration:

●Password

●Appliance name

●Management IP address

●Remote port IP address (on applicable appliances)

●Certificates

●Policies created using EncrypTight ETPM

To return the default values to factory settings:

1On the Edit menu, click Default Configurations.

2Select an appliance model and software version level from the list.

3In the appliance editor, click Use Factory.

4Click OK to save the factory settings as the defaults and return to the Appliances view.

Consider the following items before pushing a factory default configuration to an appliance:

●Settings that affect traffic are changed when the factory settings are restored. On some appliance models these changes require a reboot, which interrupts traffic on the data ports.

CAUTION

Restoring the default configuration may change traffic-affecting settings or require rebooting the appliance.

Provisioning Large Numbers of Appliances

If you have a lot of appliances to add to ETEMS, entering each configuration individually through the appliance editor can be time-consuming. ETEMS offers some tools for streamlining appliance provisioning in large deployments. The workflow is as follows:

1Create a customized default configuration, which will serve as a template, for each appliance model / software version combination that you need.

2Add the new appliances in ETEMS by entering the basic appliance information in a CSV file and then importing the data into ETEMS.

3Push the configurations to the appliances.

4Check the appliance date and time.
