Defining Appliance Configurations

When configuring a new appliance (File > New Appliance), the first thing to do is select the product family and software version. ETEMS displays a configuration screen tailored to the specified appliance model and software version. On most appliance models the Interfaces tab contains the fields required to identify an appliance: its name, password access to the appliance, and the interface IP addresses.

Select other tabs to configure additional items on the appliance, such as EncrypTight features, SNMP or logging. The availability of specific tabs and configuration options varies depending on your appliance model and software version.

Most of the information contained on the additional tabs will be the same for all of the appliances of a particular model that you configure. To streamline the configuration of a large number of appliances, use
