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:
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
