definitions immediately.

Starting and stopping the security gateway
You can use the SGMI to configure the security gateway whether it is stopped or started; however, the
security gateway must be running to perform some tasks such as viewing license usage or creating a
cluster. In other cases, to complete a procedure such as installing or uninstalling a hotfix, you may be
required to restart the security gateway.
The status message on the right side of the toolbar indicates whether the security gateway is running
or if it is stopped. The System menu option that lets you start and stop the security gateway changes to
reflect the security gateway status.
Note: When the security gateway is stopped, all traffic is blocked except administrator connections to
the security gateway.
