# Installing policies on NGFW Engines

Install a policy using the Management Client to transfer the complete configuration from the Management Server to an NGFW Engine.

After installation, the NGFW Engine is ready to start processing traffic. The NGFW Engines do not receive any clustering settings until the first time you install a policy on them and the working configuration is received from the Management Server. If you do not include a policy in the initial configuration, only the interface used for the control connection with the Management Server is configured after the NGFW Engine establishes contact with the Management Server.
