Threat Defense Deployment with the Device Manager
DNS Servers—The DNS server for the system's management address. Enter one or more addresses of
DNS servers for name resolution. The default is the OpenDNS public DNS servers. If you edit the fields
and want to return to the default, click Use OpenDNS to reload the appropriate IP addresses into the
fields.
Firewall Hostname—The hostname for the system's management address.
Step 3
Configure the system time settings and click Next.
a) Time Zone—Select the time zone for the system.
b) NTP Time Server—Select whether to use the default NTP servers or to manually enter the addresses of
your NTP servers. You can add multiple servers to provide backups.
Step 4
(Optional) Configure the smart licenses for the system.
Your purchase of the threat defense device automatically includes a Base license. All additional licenses are
optional.
You must have a smart license account to obtain and apply the licenses that the system requires. Initially, you
can use the 90-day evaluation license and set up smart licensing later.
To register the device now, click the link to log into your Smart Software Manager account, and see
Licensing, on page
To use the evaluation license, select Start 90 day evaluation period without registration.
Step 5
Click Finish.
What to do next
• Although you can continue using the evaluation license, we recommend that you register and license
• You can also choose to configure the device using the device manager; see
Configure Licensing
The threat defense uses Smart Software Licensing, which lets you purchase and manage a pool of licenses
centrally.
When you register the chassis, the Smart Software Manager issues an ID certificate for communication between
the chassis and the Smart Software Manager. It also assigns the chassis to the appropriate virtual account.

The Base license is included automatically. Smart Licensing does not prevent you from using product features
that you have not yet purchased. You can start using a license immediately, as long as you are registered with
the Smart Software Manager, and purchase the license later. This allows you to deploy and use a feature, and
avoid delays due to purchase order approval. See the following licenses:
• Threat—Security Intelligence and Next-Generation IPS
• Malware—Malware defense
