The HX 4600 appliance is typically deployed in tandem with an HX 4600D appliance. The HX 4600 appliance manages Endpoint Security Agents within the LAN. The HX 4600D appliance resides within a DMZ and manages remote endpoints. The diagram below illustrates the typical deployment of Endpoint Security appliances.
It is not a requirement to deploy the HX 4600D appliance in the same network as the HX 4600 appliance. The HX 4600D can be deployed in another network with its own Internet connection. As long as port HTTPS 6800 is open, the two Endpoint Security appliances will be able to communicate securely.
