EncrypTight PEP configuration (continued)

 

 

 

 

Configuration

Description

 

Enable EncrypTight

On the Features tab, select Enable EncrypTight. EncrypTight is

 

 

 

enabled by default on ETEP PEPs.

 

 

 

After you enable EncrypTight, the default behavior of all PEPs is to

 

 

 

send all packets in the clear until you deploy new policies. Once

 

 

 

you deploy policies, the PEPs process traffic as directed by the

 

 

 

policies.

 

Enable passing TLS traffic in

For all PEPs that pass TLS traffic between the ETPM and ETKMSs

 

the clear

and between the ETKMSs and PEPs, enable passing TLS traffic in

 

 

 

the clear. If this is not enabled, any ETPM to ETKMS, or ETKMS to

 

 

 

PEP communications will not pass through this PEP.

 

 

 

On the Features tab, select Enable passing TLS traffic in the

 

 

 

clear. This is the default setting when EncrypTight is enabled.

 

Encryption Policy Settings

On the Features tab, specify whether you want the ETEP PEP to

 

(ETEP only)

operate as a Layer 2 (Ethernet) PEP or a Layer 3 (IP) PEP.

 

Enable the SNTP client for

If you enable an SNTP client on the PEP, provide a server address

 

time synchronization

for the most reliable source that retrieves time from a stratum 3 or

 

 

 

higher clock source. If the EncrypTight components are not

 

 

 

synchronized with a reliable clock source and the time difference

 

 

 

between components is significant, policies and keys can expire

 

 

 

before they would normally be renewed. Traffic can get dropped or

 

 

 

mistakenly passed in the clear.

 

 

 

On the Advanced tab, select Enable SNTP Client.

 

 

 

Enter the IP address of the NTP service. .

 

Other configuration settings

For complete information about appliance configuration, refer to

 

 

 

“Provisioning Appliances” on page 95 and the configuration chapter

 

 

 

for the PEP that you are using.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

For more information about PEP configuration options, see the chapter for the PEP model that you are using.

Although you can create networks and other elements in ETPM, no ETPM data is saved until you add at least one PEP in the ETEMS Appliance Manager.

If you reprovision a PEP that has been out of service, it is recommended that you synchronize the appliance with an NTP server and reboot it before you attempt to use the PEP with either ETEMS or ETPM. For more information see “Network Clock Synchronization” on page 33.
