Steps

  1. In the SMC Client, create an Security Engine, then define the properties in the Engine Editor.
    Follow the normal process to define the properties of an Security Engine, with these exceptions:
    • On the Advanced Settings branch, select FIPS-Compatible Operating Mode.
    • On the Advanced Settings > Traffic Handling branch, for Layer 3 Connection Tracking Mode, select Strict.
    • On the Advanced Settings > Log Handling branch, for Log Spooling Policy, select Stop Traffic.
  2. Save the initial configuration.
    Note: Handle the configuration files securely. They include the one-time password that allows establishing trust with the Management Server.
