Contacting the Management Server

The Prepare for Management Contact window opens. If the initial 

configuration was imported in the configuration wizard, most of this 

information is filled in.
This task has three parts. First, you activate an initial configuration on 

the firewall.

• The initial configuration contains the information that the engine 

needs to connect to the Management Server for the first time.

• The initial configuration is replaced with a working configuration when 

you install a Firewall Policy from the Management Server on this 

engine using the Management Client.

Note – 

The Management interface must be the same that you 

configured as the Primary Control Interface for the corresponding 

Firewall element in the Management Center.
