Setting Up a Child Device

Procedure

1. Determine the IP address of the child device.
2. On the parent device, do the following:
   1. After you set up a parent device (see Setting Up a Single Parent Device), make sure the parent device is operational.
   2. Log on to the management console. Make sure that you are logging on the parent device management console.
   3. Go to Administration → IMSVA Configuration → Connections → Child IP.
   4. Under Add IP Address, add the IP address for the Internal Communication Port of the child device.
3. On the child device, do the following:
   1. Just as you did for the parent device, connect a management computer to the child device and log on to the management console. All IMSVA devices have the same default management console logon credentials.
   2. In the Setup Wizard, configure the local system settings and then click Next>.
   3. On the Deployment Settings screen, select Child Device and specify the IP address, port, logon user name and password for the management console of the parent device.

      Note The logon user account that you specified must have full administration rights. If the child and parent devices are not on the same subnet, the installation will fail. Modify the PostgreSQL configuration file (/var/imss/pgdata/pg_hba.conf) on the parent device to allow the child device to connect to the parent device's database.

   4. Click Finish.
4. On the parent device, do the following:
   1. Go to System Status.
   2. Verify that the child device appears under Managed Services and that a green check mark appears under Connection. You can start or stop Scanner, Policy, or EUQ services.

      Note If you enabled EUQ on the parent, it will also be enabled on the child.

5. If you want to use EUQ on the child device, redistribute the data across the EUQ databases:
   1. On the parent device, navigate to Administration → End-User Quarantine.
      The EUQ Management tab appears by default.
   2. Select Redistribute all or Only redistribute approved senders. Trend Micro recommends selecting Redistribute all.
   3. Click Redistribute.

   Note If you registered an EUQ-enabled child device to its parent device, add senders to the approved senders list, and then re-distribute EUQ data, some of the newly added approved senders might not appear. Trend Micro recommends the following: After redistributing EUQ, the administrator informs all end users to verify that the newly added approved senders are still available. That the administrator notifies all end users not to add EUQ approved senders list when the administrator is adding a child device and redistributing EUQ.
