Applies to:

TRITON AP-WEB and Web Filter & Security, v8.1.x

TRITON AP-EMAIL, v8.1.x

V-Series appliances, v8.1.x
Setting up a Websense V-Series appliance involves the following tasks. This topic covers Step 4:
1.
Set up the appliance hardware
2.
Perform initial command-line configuration
3.
Configure the appliance
*
Network interface configuration
*
Routing configuration
*
Alerting
*
Configuring Web appliance components
4.
Install off-appliance or optional components
After the appliance has been configured, install the off-appliance components you plan to use. Follow the links for your deployment in Installing appliance-based Websense solutions
 
* 
Note 
Before deploying off-appliance components, be sure to use the Appliance manager to configure the appliance interfaces that you plan to use (C, P1, P2 [optional], E1, and E2 [optional]).
At sites using TRITON AP-EMAIL, E1 is used by default to connect to SQL Server for reporting. If E1 does not have a valid IP address or does not have DNS access, then the email appliance cannot resolve the SQL Server hostname and cannot create a connection with SQL Server. In that situation, off-box installation of the management console is blocked. (On a V5000, substitute P1 for E1.)
 
* 
Note 
If Policy Broker runs on a V-Series appliance:
*
Only on-appliance instances of Policy Server can communicate with Policy Broker.
*
If Policy Broker is installed off-appliance, however, both on-appliance and off-appliance instances of Policy Server can communicate with it.
 
* 
Note 
Additional instances of web components may be installed on machines in your network to provide additional functions or distribute processing load. For example, you can install additional Websense Network Agent instances on machines in your network.
Creating a TRITON management server
 
* 
Important 
The appliance must be set up and configured before you create a TRITON management server. If you have not done so already, complete the following procedures before creating a TRITON management server:
*
Set up the appliance hardware
*
Perform initial command-line configuration
*
Configure the appliance
The machine on which TRITON Manager is installed is referred to as the TRITON management server. To install TRITON management server, see Installing appliance-based Websense solutions.
