Managing devices

Every device on a site's network is managed from the Devices tab on the Site Status page. Before a device can communicate normally, it must be registered and assigned a firewall policy that controls the traffic it is allowed to send and receive. In SC//AcuVigilâ„¢, access is applied per device, not just per network segment. The pages in this section walk you through registering devices and assigning the right policies.

  • Changing a registered device: change a device's name, segment, IP address, policy, or error status, remove a registration, or replace a device.
  • Firewall policies: how policies control each device's traffic, how to view them, and how to request a new policy or a change.
  • Registering new devices: register a device, assign its network segment, IP address, and policy, and avoid common mistakes.

To manage the switches that connect a site's devices, see the Devices tab reference and the SmartSwitch application.
