Managing Key Management Systems
Based on the policies received from the ETPM, the Key Management Systems (ETKMSs) generate and 
distribute the keys along with the policies to the Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs). You must use the 
ETEMS Appliance Manager to add, edit, and delete ETKMSs. 
This section includes the following topics:
To add a ETKMS to ETEMS, you need to know the IP address that was assigned to the management port 
during the installation of the ETKMS. The management port is one of the Ethernet ports (normally GB1). 
For information about ETKMS installation, refer to 
Figure 51
ETKMS connections 
Depending on the size and configuration of the network, the EncrypTight system may use one or more 
ETKMSs distributed throughout the network. EncrypTight also includes a local ETKMS that runs as a 
separate application on the same management workstation as the EncrypTight software. Local ETKMSs 
are intended for small to medium networks with no more than 10 nodes.
