Configuring Firewall Clusters

After you have the SMC installed and running, you can configure the Firewall Cluster elements.

Little configuration is done directly on the engines. Most of the configuration is done using the Management Client. The engines cannot be successfully installed before defining them in the Management Client.

The tasks you must complete are as follows:
  1. Add Firewall Cluster elements.
  2. Add the necessary number of nodes to the Firewall Cluster.
  3. Add interfaces and define their properties.
  4. (Optional) Select system communication roles for the interfaces.
  5. Bind Management Server POL-bound licenses to specific nodes in the Firewall Cluster.
