Configuring a Sensor
This section describes how to configure a McAfee
®
Network Security Sensor (Sensor).
This information is generic to all Sensor appliance models.
Note:
The information presented in this chapter was developed based on devices in
a specific lab environment. All Sensors used in this document started with a cleared
(default) configuration. If you are working in a live network, please ensure that you
understand the potential impact of any command before using it. For more
information on the available Sensor CLI commands, see the
CLI Guide
.
Configuration overview
At a high level, the process of configuring the Sensor involves the following steps. Detailed
instructions follow in subsequent sections of this chapter.
1
(Pre-installation) Establish a Sensor naming scheme (on page
45
) for your Sensors.
2
Install and bring up the Sensor. (This information is described in detail in the
Product
Guide
for each Sensor model.)
3
Add the Sensor to Manager (on page
48
) using the McAfee
®
Network Security
Manager (Manager) Configuration page.
4
Configuring the Sensor (on page
46
) with a unique name and shared key value.
5
Configuring the Sensor (on page
46
)’s network information (for example, IP address
and netmask, Sensor name, and so on).
6
Verify that the Sensor is on the network. (See
Configuring the Sensor (on page
46
))
7
Verify connectivity between the Manager and the Sensor. (See
Verifying successful
configuration (on page
49
))
Establish a Sensor naming scheme
Once you have configured a Sensor with a name, you will be unable to change the name
without reconfiguring the Sensor. McAfee recommends that you establish an easily
