Shield - Venue Management

Venue Management

Venues is where you deploy Shield on your network, it is activated by adding the IP addresses of your hardware. 

On a venue listing, click edit (or the title link)

	In the edit venue screen, the first thing you will need to do is add IP addresses. Click add
	This will bring up a dialog where you can enter the IP address(es) of your hardware for the venue. NB. The CIDR section allows you to add a block of IP addresses if required. It is preset to be correct for adding a single IP address. (You can add multiple ‘non-range’  IP addresses by adding one, then adding another etc.

N.B. You will only be able to see venues you are licensed for. If you cannot see a venue you believe should be available, please contact support, as this is not user configurable.

Venue Name is not user editable. (If you need this changed, please contact support)

Policy/Schedule will default to your default Policy. You can select your preferred choice here. (You can also edit this later)

Save your changes!

Once you have your configuration as you want it, don’t forget to click ‘’save changes”.

On-Site Hardware Configuration

You need to add the IP addresses of your hardware for each venue you wish to protect. 

N.B. Your network will not be protected until you add  the DNS Servers to your hardware.

At the bottom of the sidebar is displayed DNS Servers: The 2 IP addresses listed are the DNS servers you need to set on your hardware to have Shield active.    Apply the DNS server settings to all hardware as the default DNS and where possible, enforce them. (See our guides for your hardware)
