Setup Options panel
Field Description
What type of system do you want to
configure When the high availability/load balancing (HA/LB) feature is licensed and
enabled, you can select from the following system types:
■
Standalone gateway
If selected, the appliance is configured as a standalone security
gateway.
This is the default selection.
■
Cluster member
If selected, the appliance is configured as a cluster member.
As a cluster member, the System Setup Wizard options to create rules
for SMTP and POP3 mail services, and HTTP and FTP services are not
available. These configurations are performed on a single cluster
member and propagated to the other members of the cluster.
If HA/LB is not enabled, these options are not accessible. By default, the
security gateway is configured as a standalone gateway.
Restore backup configuration’s
network interfaces data If you are restoring a backup of the current appliance, use this option.
It restores the network interface configurations that were saved with the
backup that you are restoring,
This option is selected by default.
Merge backup configuration’s
network interfaces data If you are restoring a backup from another security gateway and want to use
its network interface data, use this option.
It maps interface definitions (logical names, subnets, and physical names)
from the backup file to the interface definitions on the security gateway to
which you are restoring.
When a backup interface definition cannot be mapped to a current interface
definition, the backup definition is assigned to an unused interface.
Use current network interfaces data If you are restoring a backup from another security gateway but want to
maintain the network settings that are currently configured on the security
gateway, check this option.
You may encounter validation errors if logical interface names that are
referenced by the backup configuration are not defined. Use the Validation
report that is generated to correct these errors by defining missing logical
interfaces and corresponding network interfaces.
