Network recommendations

The Manager Appliance supports both DHCP and static IP address networks. Trellix strongly recommends that you use a static IP address.

In addition, Trellix recommends having a DNS server on your network. This enables you to set a fully qualified domain name for your Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Manager server. The Trellix IPS Manager generates a public key certificate that uses the Manager Appliance host name. This certificate is used to authenticate the IPS Manager server to any Manager clients in your deployment.

Hardware specifications

The Manager appliance uses a 1U rackmount unit, and the size is defined by its standard rack unit height and physical dimensions.
