How much configuration is required to initially set up the IG200/IG2000?
During passive learning mode, no configuration is required for the appliance to begin learning. An IP address may be assigned for the management interface, but management can also be done with a locally attached keyboard/monitor. Because no traffic will be blocked, the IG200/IG2000 will “learn” the traffic profile so appropriate thresholds can be set. After 2-10 days of attack-free learning, a sufficient baseline will exist to enable administrators to tune threshold levels for their networks. Administrators then have the option of accepting the recommended thresholds or configuring their own.
