Steps

  1. In the Management Client, create an NGFW Engine, then define the properties in the Engine Editor.
    Follow the normal process to define the properties of an NGFW Engine, with these exceptions:
    • On the Advanced Settings branch, select FIPS-Compatible Operating Mode.
    • On the Advanced Settings > Log Handling branch, select a suitable setting for the Log Spooling Policy option, depending on your network environment.
  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.
