This chapter provides procedures and reference information for configuring ETEP appliances.
To prepare the ETEP for operation in your network, do the following:
●
In the ETEMS Appliance Manager, click File > New Appliance to open the Appliance editor. Select
the ETEP appliance model from the Product Family list (ET0010A, ET0100A, ET1000A), and select
the software version loaded on the ETEP.

●
On the Interfaces tab, enter the appliance name.
●
On the Interfaces tab, specify the throughput speed at which you want the ETEP to run (ETEP
software version 1.6 and later). The throughput speed is determined by the ETEP model and license
that you purchased. For more information about throughput speeds and licenses, see

Changing the default password is an important step in maintaining the security of your network. After
adding and configuring a new appliance, be sure to add users and passwords prior to pushing the

about managing users on ETEP appliances.
If you plan to operate the ETEP in FIPS mode, we recommend enabling FIPS mode as one of your first
configuration tasks. Entering FIPS mode resets many configuration items, such as passwords, policies,
and certificates. To avoid having to reconfigure the ETEP, enable FIPS mode and then perform the rest of
the appliance and policy configuration tasks. See
