Preparing for registration

Steps

  1. Synchronize the date and time on the Content Gateway and management server machines to within a few minutes.
  2. If Content Gateway is deployed as a transparent proxy, ensure that traffic to and from the communication interface (“C” on a V Series appliance) is not subject to transparent routing. If it is, the registration process will be intercepted by the transparent routing and will not complete properly.
  3. Make sure that the IPv4 address of the eth0 NIC on the Content Gateway machine is available (not required if Content Gateway is located on a V-Series appliance). This is the NIC used by the management server during the registration process.
  4. After registration, the IP address can move to another network interface.
  5. Verify connectivity between Content Gateway and the management server.
