Maintenance includes procedures that you do not typically need to do frequently.
You can upgrade Firewalls, IPS engines, Layer 2 Firewalls, and Master Engines.
This online help was created for Secure SD-WAN Manager, version 6.10.100.0.
Before setting up FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN, it is useful to know what the different components do and what engine roles are available.
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.
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.
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.
You can command and set options for engines through the Management Client or on the engine command line. You can also stop traffic manually.
Secure SD-WAN Manager configuration allows you to customize how the Secure SD-WAN Manager components work.
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.
Use the Management Client to configure static or dynamic routing, and use a Multi-Link configuration to manage and distribute inbound and outbound connections.
Policies are key elements that contain rules for allowing or blocking network traffic and inspecting the content of traffic.
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.
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.
You can configure the Management Server to automatically download and install dynamic update packages, remote upgrades for engines, and licenses.
Backups contain the necessary configuration information to restore the Secure SD-WAN Manager to the state it was in when the backup was taken.
Log management consists of configuring when log data produced, which log entries are stored, and when stored log entries are deleted or archived. To prevent the Log Server storage from filling up, log data management tools help you manage log entries automatically.
Tasks define parameters of system maintenance operations. You can run maintenance operations manually or automatically according to a schedule you set.
All Secure SD-WAN Manager components and Engines must be licensed as a proof of purchase. In addition, some additional features can be activated by installing a feature license.
You can upgrade the Management Servers, Management Clients, Log Servers, and Web Portal Servers in your Secure SD-WAN Manager.
You can remotely upgrade engines using the Management Client or locally on the engine command line.
You can upgrade Engines remotely using the Management Client.
If the Management Server is not set up to download engine upgrades automatically, download the installation files manually.
The Management Server can remotely upgrade Engine components that it manages.
Dynamic Update packages include changes and additions to the system Policies, Situations, and other elements of the Secure SD-WAN Manager.
Troubleshooting helps you resolve common problems in the Engine and Secure SD-WAN Manager.
