Deploying an I Series Appliance | Forcepoint Web Security Cloud
This chapter describes connecting the appliance to your network, and registering the appliance with the Forcepoint cloud service. It also contains information on running diagnostics, and monitoring appliance traffic.
Connecting the appliance to your network
Connect the appliance to your network. The appliance must have at least a valid connection to the cloud service for registration and the subsequent database update to succeed. You can choose either of the following methods:
*
Install the appliance in your network and then register it with the cloud service. The appliance operates as a simple network bridge, forwarding all traffic, until registration is complete.
*
Install the appliance offline, with only the B1 interface connected to the network to allow an upstream connection to the cloud service. Once registration is complete and the appliance is fully set up, you can connect it to your the rest of your network.
