Getting Started

Setting Up Websense V-Series Appliances

b.

Enter IP address, subnet mask, default gateway (only if you select interface N 
for sending blocking information), and DNS IP addresses for the N interface.

c.

Click 

Save

 in the 

Network Agent Interface (N)

 area.

7.

Configure routes if necessary:

a.

In the left navigation pane, click 

Configuration > Routing

.

b.

Under Static Routes, use the 

Add/Import

 button to specify customized, static 

routes.

c.

Under Module Routes, use the 

Add

 button to specify non-management Web 

Security traffic through the C interface.

d.

For either static or module routes, use the 

Delete

 button to remove existing 

routes, if necessary.

See the Appliance Manager Help for more information about static and module 
routes.

8.

Select the policy mode of this appliance:

a.

In the left navigation pane, click 

Configuration > Web Security 

Components

.

b.

Specify the role of this appliance with respect to Websense Web Security 
policy information.

Choose 

Full policy source

 if Websense Policy Broker and Policy 

Database for your deployment will run on the appliance being configured. 
(Only one appliance in the network runs these two components, as well as 
the other filtering components.) Policy Server must also be run on the 

full 

policy source

 appliance; Policy Server can run in multiple locations.

Choose 

User directory and filtering

 if the appliance currently being 

configured is 

not

 the location of the policy information, but will run Policy 

Server and User Service. Then, enter the 

IP address 

of the machine 

running Policy Broker (the policy source). The policy source can be 
another appliance that is running in 

full policy source

 mode. In this case, 

enter the IP address of that appliance’s C network interface.

Note

An existing route cannot be edited. If you want to edit a 
route, delete it and then use the 

Add/Import

 (static) or 

Add

 (module) button to specify the route with the changes 

you want.

Note

If Policy Broker runs on an appliance, only on-appliance 
instances of Policy Server can communicate with Policy 
Broker. In this case, Policy Server cannot be installed off-
appliance. If Policy Broker is installed off-appliance, 
however, both on-appliance and off-appliance instances of 
Policy Server can communicate with it.
