Home
Controlling Engines
You can command and set options for engines through the Management Client or on the engine command line. You can also stop traffic manually.
Working on the Engine command line
Although the engines are managed remotely, some operations on the Linux command line on the engines are useful for troubleshooting and local maintenance operations.

About this Help
This online help was created for Secure SD-WAN Manager, version 6.10.100.0.
Introduction to the FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN
Before setting up FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN, it is useful to know what the different components do and what engine roles are available.
Deployment
Before you can set up the system and start configuring elements, you must consider how the different Secure SD-WAN Manager components should be positioned and deployed.
Setting up
After deploying the Secure SD-WAN Manager components, you are ready to start using the Management Client and carrying out some of the first configuration tasks.
Monitoring
You can use the Secure SD-WAN Manager to monitor system components and third-party devices. You can also view and filter logs, and create Reports from them.
Controlling Engines
You can command and set options for engines through the Management Client or on the engine command line. You can also stop traffic manually.
- Controlling Engine operation
  You can command and set options for Firewall engines, Layer 2 Firewall engines, IPS engines, Master Engines, Virtual Firewalls, Virtual IPS engines, and Virtual Layer 2 Firewalls through the Management Client.
- Working on the Engine command line
  Although the engines are managed remotely, some operations on the Linux command line on the engines are useful for troubleshooting and local maintenance operations.
  - Considerations for working on the Engine command line
    Nearly all engine configuration is done through the Management Client, but some engine settings and options must be defined and configured on the command line.
  - Access the Engine command line
    There are several ways you can connect to the Engine and access the Engine command line.
  - Reconfigure Engine settings
    On the command line of the Engine, you can use the Engine Configuration Wizard to change settings that were defined during the installation of the Engine.
  - Create Engine scripts
    Engine scripts run when the Engine changes its state.
  - Send commands to Virtual Engines
    Commands to Virtual Engines are sent from the command line of the Master Engine that hosts the Virtual Engines.
Secure SD-WAN Manager configuration
Secure SD-WAN Manager configuration allows you to customize how the Secure SD-WAN Manager components work.
Engine configuration
You can create and modify Firewalls, IPS engines, Layer 2 Firewalls, Master Engines and Virtual Engines. You can configure the Engine properties, activate optional features, and configure advanced Engine settings.
Routing
Use the Management Client to configure static or dynamic routing, and use a Multi-Link configuration to manage and distribute inbound and outbound connections.
Traffic inspection policies
Policies are key elements that contain rules for allowing or blocking network traffic and inspecting the content of traffic.
Users and authentication
User accounts are stored in internal databases or external directory servers. You can use Engine in the Firewall/VPN role or external authentication servers to authenticate users.
Virtual private networks
Engine supports both policy-based and route-based VPN (virtual private network) tunnels between VPN gateways. For full remote access, Engine supports both IPsec and SSL VPN tunnels for VPN clients.
Maintenance and upgrades
Maintenance includes procedures that you do not typically need to do frequently.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting helps you resolve common problems in the Engine and Secure SD-WAN Manager.
