Configuration overview of connecting NGFW Engines to the SMC
Configuring management connections for NGFW Engines consists of these main steps.
- Configure the NGFW Engine in the Management Client.
- Save an initial configuration on the Management Server. This triggers the creation of a one-time password that the NGFW Engine uses to connect to the Management Server.
- Install the NGFW Engine to make the NGFW Engine contact the Management Server.
- Install a policy on the NGFW Engine to transfer the full working configuration from the Management Server to the NGFW Engine.
