3.3.1.1. Procedure – Configuring Zorp - the general process

1. Select the component required to be configured in the Configuration tree.

2. Perform the actual configuration changes on the component. For details, see the relevant chapters.

3. Commit the changes to the XML database of ZMS. Otherwise, the changes are lost when navigating to another component.

   Write a brief summary about the changes into the Changelog. For details, see Procedure 3.3.4, Recording and commenting configuration changes.

4. To activate the changes, upload them to the affected Zorp firewall hosts from the ZMS database. ZMS converts the changes to the proper configuration file format and sends them to the transfer agents on the firewall nodes. The changes are applied on the firewall nodes.

5. Reload the altered configurations on the firewalls, or restart the corresponding services.
