Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series Installation and Configuration Guide

Understanding Deployment
A Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series deployment depends on both X-Series-based and Cisco-specific 
components. Implement a basic deployment scenario using the following steps:
Step 1
Create and configure all VAPs and VAP groups on the X-Series platform. The name you give to each 
VAP is the name that appears in the Defense Center as the device name. See 
 for more information.
Step 2
Install Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series on each VAP on the X-Series platform. Each VAP appears 
on the Defense Center separately and functions as a managed device. See 
 for more information.
Step 3
Deploy Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series into your network. You can deploy each VAP individually, 
or deploy a VAP group to take advantage of redundancy and load balancing. See 
 for more information.
Step 4
Configure remote management for each installation of Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series on a 
Defense Center. See 
more information.
Step 5
Use the Defense Center to configure and apply an access control policy to each Cisco NGIPS for Blue 
Coat X-Series installation. See the FireSIGHT System User Guide for more information. 
Your deployment options depend on the capabilities of your X-Series platform and the components of 
the FireSIGHT System you are licensed to use. For information on the requirements of your Cisco 
NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series, see

Understanding Sensing Circuits
Sensing circuits are connections between points in the chassis or to external interfaces. You create 
sensing circuits differently, depending on how Cisco NGIPS for Blue Coat X-Series is deployed:
