No manual configuration is required if the same Central Management appliance manages both the sensors and the IVX cluster. This section describes how to enroll sensors in scenarios that require manual configuration. In these scenarios, either the IVX cluster is not managed by the Central Management appliance that manages the sensors, or the sensors are standalone appliances. For example:
The IVX cluster is managed by another Central Management appliance. The sensor can either enroll directly, or enroll through its managing Central Management appliance. In the second case, the Central Management appliance acts as a proxy for the enrollment. (The proxy scenario is convenient if the Central Management appliance manages multiple sensors, because the configuration can be done once on the Central Management appliance instead of being done on each sensor.)
The sensor is a standalone Network Security appliance (it is not managed by a Central Management appliance).
No manual configuration is required to enroll hybrid appliances, because they must be managed by the same Central Management appliance that manages the IVX cluster.
Important
Information about standalone sensors is not displayed in the Web UI of the Central Management appliance that manages the cluster.
Note
For examples of enrollment scenarios, see Standard deployment scenarios.
