Why each option

Resetting SIC requires a coordinated two-step process - clearing the trust from SmartDashboard and then reinitializing the one-time password on the gateway itself via cpconfig.

ARun cpconfig, and click Reset.

Running cpconfig alone only addresses the gateway side of SIC; without first resetting from SmartDashboard, the management server retains the old SIC certificate and the two sides cannot re-establish trust.

BClick the Communication button for the firewall object, then click Reset. Run cpconfig on theCorrect

Clicking the Communication button on the gateway object in SmartDashboard and selecting Reset clears the established SIC certificate on the management side. Running cpconfig on the gateway and setting a new one-time password then reinitializes the SIC trust from the gateway side, completing the full reset cycle so both ends can re-establish communication.

CRun cpconfig, and select Secure Internal Communication > Change One Time Password.

Using cpconfig to change the one-time password modifies only the gateway-side credential and does not clear the established SIC certificate on the management server side.

DClick Communication > Reset on the Gateway object, and type a new activation key.

Clicking Communication > Reset in SmartDashboard resets only the management-side trust; without also running cpconfig on the gateway to set a matching activation key, SIC cannot be re-established.
