CHAPTER 5
DEFINING IPS ENGINES
This chapter contains the steps needed to complete the IPS engine configuration that
prepares the SMC for IPS engine installation.
Very little configuration is done directly on the engines. Most of the configuration is done
using the Management Client, so the engines cannot be successfully installed before defining
them in the SMC as outlined in this chapter.
The following sections are included:
Getting Started with Defining IPS Engines (page 34)
Creating Engine Elements (page 34)
Defining System Communication Interfaces for IPS Engines (page 35)
Setting Interface Options for IPS Engines (page 37)
Defining Traffic Inspection Interfaces for IPS Engines (page 38)
Bypassing Traffic on Overload (page 42)
Finishing the Engine Configuration (page 42)
