Add Master Security Engine elements

To introduce a new Master Security Engine to the SMC, add a Master Security Engine element that stores the configuration information for the Master Security Engine and Virtual Security Engines.

1. In the SMC Client, select Engine Configuration.
2. Right-click Engines and select New > Master Engine.
3. Select the role for the Virtual Engines the Master Engine hosts, then click OK.
   The Engine Editor opens.
4. In the Name field, enter a unique name.
5. Select the Log Server to which the Master Security Engine sends its log data.
6. (Optional) Define one or more DNS IP Addresses.
   These addresses are the IP addresses of the DNS servers that the Master Security Engine uses to resolve domain names. There are two ways to define IP addresses.

   • To enter a single IP address manually, click Add and select IP Address. Enter the IP address in the dialog box that opens.
   • To define an IP address using a network element, click Add and select Network Element.
7. Select the Location for this Master Security Engine if there is a NAT device between this Master Security Engine and other SMC components.
8. (Optional) If you do not need to use clustering on the Master Security Engine:
   1. In the navigation pane on the left, browse to General > ARP Entries.
   2. Select one of the nodes, then click Remove Node.
   3. When prompted to confirm that you want to delete the selected node, click Yes.
9. Click Save.
   Do not close the Engine Editor.
