Overview: Setting up a basic configuration
This section contains general information that the system needs before you can configure services and service chains. The F5® Herculon™ SSL Orchestrator™ configuration utility will assist you with configuring logging settings, setting up ingress and egress devices as one system or separate systems, and configuring the system for transparent proxy and explicit proxy.

Configuring an ingress and egress device on one system
The ingress device is either a device or a Sync-Failover device group where each client sends traffic. The egress device is either a device or a Sync-Failover device group that receives traffic after a connection travels through the specified service chain and directs the traffic to the final destination.
If both the ingress and egress traffic are used by the same BIG-IP® system, the ingress device is one or more ingress VLANs where the clients send traffic. The ingress device decrypts the traffic and then, based on protocol, source, and destination, classifies the traffic and passes each connection for inspection.
If both the ingress and egress traffic are used by the same BIG-IP system, the egress device is one or more egress VLANs where the clients receive traffic.
