Setting Up the Appliance
The setup procedure is the same for both physical and virtual SWG appliances. You perform the setup
using a setup script that is run in the Limited Shell.
Note:
Before setting up the installed appliance, you should prepare for setup by assembling the detailed
information and values that you will need to supply as part of setup.

Decide the role of the
appliance
You must define a single Policy Server (provides management and reporting
services), and at least one Scanner (provides scanning and authentication
services). You can choose to define both of these roles in the same appliance
or in different appliances:
•
All In One (Default)
– Defines the appliance as both a Policy Server
and a Scanner. This value is often used for SWG 3000 or 5000 models.
•
SWG Scanner
– Defines the appliance or blade as a Scanner only.
•
SWG Policy Server
– Defines the appliance or blade as a Policy Server
only.
•
Standby Policy Server
– Defines the appliance as a standby Policy
Server to support high availability.
