Initial Setup
54 ETEP Installation Guide
includes tools for appliance configuration, policy definition and deployment, and key generation and
distribution.
To prepare the ETEP for operation in the network, you will need to perform the following tasks:
1 Assign passwords
2 Configure the ETEP
3 Define security policies
If you plan to operate the ETEP in FIPS mode, we recommend enabling FIPS mode as your first
configuration task. 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.
