104 Populating the topology database Adding nodes and objects ■ Right-click an existing router interface object, and click Edit from the pop-up menu. 2 In Add Router Interface or Edit Router Interface, enter a descriptive name up to 40 characters long. See "Name" on page 77. 3 In Interface Name, enter the name of the interface, following the manufacturer's interface naming convention. See "Interface name" on page 78. 4 In Customer ID, enter an optional customer ID of up to 40 characters long. See "Customer IDs" on page 77. 5 In IP Address, enter the IP address for the interface. 6 In Netmask, enter the netmask for the interface. 7 In Description, enter an optional description of up to 255 characters, and click OK. See "Description" on page 77. Caution: Click Topology > Save Changes before quitting the Network Security console. You will lose any unsaved changes when you exit. If you add an interface in a network segment that does not yet have an object in the topology tree, Symantec Network Security automatically creates an object for the new network segment under the Managed Network Segments category. You can edit the default name (Untitled) and description for this new network segment object. See "About managed network segments" on page 108. See "Deleting objects" on page 81. About Smart Agents Symantec Network Security Smart Agents are translation software that enable Symantec Network Security to receive event data from external sensors, and correlate that data with all other events. Smart Agents expand the security umbrella and enhance the threat detection value of existing security assets by aggregating third-party intrusion events into Symantec Network Security, which leverages its correlation, analysis, and response functionality. Symantec Network Security contains an internal Smart Agent configuration to integrate Symantec Decoy Server events. To integrate events from any other external sensor, you must install an external Smart Agent designed for that sensor, and add a Smart Agent object to the topology tree to represent it.
