Websense V-Series Appliances
•
Choose
User directory and filtering
if the appliance currently being
configured is
not
the location of the policy information, but will run Policy
Server and User Service. Then, enter the
IP address
of the server that is
used as the full policy source - a machine running Policy Broker. (If the full
policy source is another appliance, enter the IP address of its C network
interface.)
•
Choose
Filtering only
if the appliance being configured will not run any
policy components. (There are some disadvantages to this reduced role, as
explained in the Appliance Manager help system.) Then, enter the
IP
address
of the server that is used as the policy source - a machine running
Policy Server. The policy source can also be another appliance in
full
policy source
or
user directory and filtering
mode. In this case, enter the
IP address of the appliance’s C network interface.

Install off-appliance or optional components
After the appliance has been configured, install the off-appliance components you
want. See
Software that runs off-appliance
for more information about these
components. Run the Websense Installer (in custom installation mode) on the machine
to which you want to install components. See the
Websense Technical Library
for
instructions.
Additional instances of Web security filtering components may be installed on
machines in your network to provide additional functions or distribute processing
load. For example, you can install additional Websense Network Agent instances on
machines in your network.
Note
If Policy Broker runs on an appliance, only on-appliance
instances of Policy Server can communicate with Policy
Broker. In this case, Policy Server cannot be installed off-
appliance. If Policy Broker is installed off-appliance,
however, both on-appliance and off-appliance instances of
Policy Server can communicate with it.
