ETEP Installation Guide 53
You need to install a license on each ETEP that you use. Licenses are linked to the serial number of the
ETEP on which they are installed. You cannot install a license intended for one ETEP on a different
ETEP.
If you upgrade from a command line-only installation to a full EncrypTight deployment, you can no
longer use the command line-only license and must acquire an EncrypTight license.
To add a license from the command line:
1 At the command prompt, type
configure to enter configuration mode.
2At the
config> prompt, type license <string>, where string is the license provided by
Customer Support. The license is case sensitive. Enter the license exactly as provided. It will look
something like this: 1:0:0508C482:10:258482fab2
To view the ETEP throughput speed:
1 At the command prompt, type
show throughput-speed.
Configuration Example
The following example illustrates the commands used for initial setup of the ETEP to configure the
following parameters: management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, auto-negotiation, date
and time. The autoneg command needs to be configured only if you want to disable auto-negotiation and
configure the link speed and flow control manually.

Managing the ETEP
The ETEP can be managed in two ways, depending on the size and complexity of your deployment:
Command Line Interface (CLI)
You can configure the ETEPs for operation and create Layer 2 point-to-point policies using the CLI
commands.
To manage the ETEP using the CLI, you can attached a PC directly to the serial port or use any SSH
client for a secure remote connection through the Ethernet management port.
EncrypTight Policy and Key Manager™
EncrypTight can distribute keys to a large number of ETEPs. It works for complex mesh, hub and
spoke, and multicast networks, as well as in straightforward point-to-point topologies. EncrypTight
