network sets in Layer 3 IP policies. L2 PEPs can be used in Layer 2 Ethernet policies. You can sort the 
list of PEPs by type or name by clicking the column header (SG or Name). 
When ETEMS communicates with a PEP, it verifies that its hardware and software configuration is valid. 
PEPs that ETEMS has not yet communicated with are marked with a ? symbol beside the IP or L2 
designation. In the previous example, PEP 2, PEP 5, and ESG PEP 1 have not yet had any 
communications from ETEMS. Once you refresh the status or push configurations from ETEMS, the ? 
symbol disappears. The first time you attempt to use a PEP with the ? symbol, the following warning 
appears.

It is recommended that you add all new PEPs in the ETEMS Appliance Manager because you can only

configuration settings described in

On the Interfaces tab, configure the PEP’s management, local, and

If the PEP and the ETKMS are on different subnets, specify a

communication with the ETKMS and the management workstation 
hosting ETPM.
