CHAPTER 7
CONFIGURING MASTER ENGINES
AND
VIRTUAL IPS ENGINES
This chapter contains the steps needed to complete the Master Engine and Virtual IPS engine
configuration that prepares the SMC for a Master Engine and Virtual IPS engine installation.
Very little configuration is done directly on the Master Engine. No installation or configuration
is done on the Virtual IPS engines. Most of the configuration is done using the Management
Client, so the engines cannot be successfully installed before defining them in the
Management Client as outlined in this chapter.
The following sections are included:
Configuration Overview (page 54)
