Add Master NGFW Engine elements

To introduce a new Master NGFW Engine to the SMC, add a Master NGFW Engine element that stores the configuration information for the Master NGFW Engine and Virtual NGFW Engines.

1. In the Management Client, select Configuration.
2. Right-click NGFW Engines and select New > Master NGFW Engine.
3. Select the role for the Virtual NGFW Engines the Master NGFW Engine hosts, then click OK.
   The Engine Editor opens.
4. In the Name field, enter a unique name.
5. Select the Log Server to which the Master NGFW Engine sends its log data.
6. (Optional) Define one or more DNS IP Addresses.
   These addresses are the IP addresses of the DNS servers that the Master NGFW Engine uses to resolve domain names. There are two ways to define IP addresses.

   • To enter a single IP address manually, click Add and select IP Address. Enter the IP address in the dialog box that opens.
   • To define an IP address using a network element, click Add and select Network Element.
7. Select the Location for this Master NGFW Engine if there is a NAT device between this Master NGFW Engine and other SMC components.
8. (Optional) If you do not need to use clustering on the Master NGFW Engine:
   1. In the navigation pane on the left, browse to General > ARP Entries.
   2. Select one of the nodes, then click Remove Node.
   3. When prompted to confirm that you want to delete the selected node, click Yes.
9. Click Save.
   Do not close the Engine Editor.
