Installing vShield Edge, vShield App,
and vShield Endpoint
After the vShield Manager and vShield Zones are installed, you can obtain licenses to activate vShield App,
vShield Endpoint, and vShield Edge components. The vShield Manager OVA package includes the drivers
and files required to install these add‐on components.
This chapter includes the following topics:

Running vShield in Evaluation Mode

Before purchasing and activating licenses for vShield Edge, vShield App, an vShield Endpoint, you can install
and run evaluation modes of the software. When run in evaluation mode, intended for demonstration and
evaluation purposes, your vShield Edge, vShield App, and vShield Endpoint are completely operational
immediately after installation, do not require any licensing configuration, and provide full functionality for 60
days from the time you first activate them.
When run in evaluation mode, vShield components can support a maximum allowed number of instances.
After the 60‐day trial period expires, unless you obtain licenses for your software, you cannot use vShield. For
example, you cannot power on vShield App or vShield Edge virtual appliances or protect your virtual
machines.
To continue using the vShield App and vShield Edge functionality without interruptions or to restore the
features that become unavailable after the 60‐day trial, you need to obtain and install license files that activate
the features appropriate for the vShield component you purchased.
Preparing Your Virtual Infrastructure for vShield App, vShield Edge,
and vShield Endpoint
Prior to installation, the add‐on components require preparation of your ESX host and vNetwork
environments. You install vShield App, vShield Endpoint, and the Port Group Isolation feature on ESX hosts.
You install vShield Edge on a port group, vNetwork Distributed Switch (vDS) port group, or a Cisco
1000V.
If you intend to use the Port Group Isolation feature, you should install Port Group Isolation on all ESX hosts
in your vCenter environment before you install any vShield Edge virtual machines. If you do not install Port
Group Isolation and attempt to enable the feature during vShield Edge installation, Port Group Isolation does
not work. See "Prepare All ESX Hosts" on page 24.
