Where to go next
After completing the setup, the device will pass traffic using the default
filter configuration that automatically recognizes and blocks traffic
that is known to be malicious at all times, under all conditions, in all
network environments. You can perform additional configuration,
administrative, and management tasks using either of the following
methods:
• From the LSM, you can perform further configuration,
administrative, and management tasks. For details, see the
TippingPoint Local Security Manager User’s Guide
.
• From the CLI, you can run the setup wizard again using the
