52 Topology Database Viewing objects in the topology tree About Symantec Network Security objects The installation process automatically creates an object in the topology tree to represent the first software or appliance node. This defaults to master node status, and the installation program automatically assigns it a node number of 1. By default, all software and appliance nodes installed in the network after this master node default to slave node status. The master node synchronizes the databases on all slave nodes in a cluster to its topology, detection and response policy, and configuration databases. Under Enterprise, the location object created automatically during the installation process, SuperUsers can add objects to represent each Network Security software node and 7100 Series appliance node. About software nodes Software nodes are the objects that represent Symantec Network Security software installed on designated computers.

Topology Database
Viewing objects in the topology tree
About Symantec Network Security objects
The installation process automatically creates an object in the topology tree to
represent the first software or appliance node. This defaults to master node
status, and the installation program automatically assigns it a node number of
1
.
By default, all software and appliance nodes installed in the network after this
master node default to slave node status. The master node synchronizes the
databases on all slave nodes in a cluster to its topology, detection and response
policy, and configuration databases.
Under Enterprise, the location object created automatically during the
installation process, SuperUsers can add objects to represent each Network
Security software node and 7100 Series appliance node.
About software nodes
Software nodes are the objects that represent Symantec Network Security
software installed on designated computers. Under Enterprise, the location
object created automatically during the installation process, SuperUsers can
add an object to the topology tree to represent each Network Security software
node.
Viewing software nodes
The Devices tab displays detailed information about each object in the topology
tree, upon selection. The Advanced Network Options tab contains information
about the designated computer that this node represents in the topology tree.
The installation process automatically provides this information.
Note:
Both StandardUsers and RestrictedUsers can view software or appliance
nodes, but cannot add, edit, or delete them.
To view software nodes

the right pane.
■
Right-click an existing software node, and click
