Configure the Network Connection
The eth0 connection is the network connection with a path to the management workstation running
ETPM and to the PEPs’ management port. The eth1 connection is inactive and unavailable. Set the
network connection as required by your network configuration, but it is recommended that you set a static
IP address. You can assign both an IPv4 address and IPv6 address, if needed.

NOTE
If any of your ETEPs are configured with IPv6 addresses, you must configure the ETKMS and the
management workstation to use an IPv6 address instead of, or in addition to, an IPv4 address. If the
ETKMS software is configured with an IPv4 address only, it cannot initiate connections to ETEPs that have
IPv6 addresses. ETPM will not allow you to deploy a policy that includes an IPv4 ETKMS and IPv6
ETEPs.
