106 Populating the topology database Adding nodes and objects 7 In EDP Password, provide a password between 8 to 64 characters long, for Symantec Network Security to communicate with the Smart Agent via EDP proxy (Event Dispatch Protocol). 8 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. You can add interface objects to each Smart Agent object in the topology tree. For the sensor to run, you must add interfaces and at least one protection policy to the interface. To enable TrackBack to query flow data from this object, you must apply the sensor parameter for flow statistics, and execute the TrackBack response policy. ■ See "About Smart Agent interfaces" on page 106. ■ See "Defining new protection policies" on page 120. ■ See "Enable Flow Statistics Collection" on page 163. ■ See "Setting TrackBack response action" on page 147. ■ See "Integrating with Symantec Decoy Server" on page 285. ■ See "Deleting objects" on page 81. About Smart Agent interfaces Smart Agent interface objects serve as a visual reminder of the location of any Symantec Network Security Smart Agents in the network. They also make Symantec Network Security aware for the TrackBack response action. You do not need to add the optional Smart Agent interface objects for Symantec Network Security to accept event data from them. However, to apply the TrackBack response action, you must add objects to represent these interfaces.
