Sending a management request in a NAT deployment using the appliance Web UI

Use the Add to CM page in the Email Security - Server Web UI to initiate a request to be added to a Central Management System appliance.

To send a management request:

If the EX appliance has never sent a management request, ensure that it meets the requirements described in Preparing an Email Security - Server appliance to send a management request in a NAT deployment.
Log in to the requesting Email Security - Server appliance Web UI.
Click the Settings tab.
Click CM Network on the sidebar.
In the CM IP Address and Port boxes, do one of the following:
- If the Central Management System is not behind a NAT gateway or is behind the same NAT gateway as the appliance: Enter the Central Management System IP address and remote management port. The default port is 22.
- If the Central Management System is behind a NAT gateway different from the appliance NAT gateway: Enter the accessible Central Management System IP address and port.
In the CM Username and CM Password boxes, enter the admin credentials the appliance should use to log in to the Central Management System appliance to announce itself.
If the Email Security - Server appliance is behind a NAT gateway, select the Appliance Behind NAT checkbox.
Click Send Request.
A message informs you that the request succeeded or failed, or that the appliance is already being managed by the Email Security - Server appliance. If the request succeeded, a Central Management System administrator can accept or reject the request. An example success message is shown below:
Note
See the Central Management System Administration Guide for information about accepting the requests and adding the appliances to the Central Management System appliance.
