Configuring the SMC for the example deployment

In this example, the SMC is located on premises, and is reached through the public Internet. The SMC is protected by a firewall that allows the communication between NGFW Engines and the SMC, and translates the public IP address of the Management Server component of the SMC to a private IP address.

Configuring the SMC consists of the following tasks:

1. Create a new single NGFW Engine element.
2. Save the initial configuration for the NGFW Engine.

Begin by creating a new single NGFW Engine element.
