74 Populating the topology database About the network topology Viewing object details When you select an object in the Devices tab, the right pane displays information about that object. Depending on the selected object, the following information can appear in the right pane: ■ Device Type: Displays the type of device selected. ■ IP address: Displays the IP address of the selected device, or the management IP address for a device with multiple IP addresses. ■ Node Number: Displays the node number assigned to the software or appliance node, between 1 and 120. ■ Customer ID: Displays an optional user-defined ID. Customer IDs for in-line pairs and interface groups reflect the 7100 Series appliance nodes to which they belong. ■ Model: Displays the model number of a 7100 Series appliance, either 7120, 7160, or 7161. ■ Monitoring Group: Identifies the monitoring group of the selected device, if any. ■ Monitored Networks: Identifies the networks for which port usage patterns are tracked and anomalies detected. Displayed only if you entered network IP addresses on the Network tab when editing interfaces, adding in-line pairs, or adding interface groups. Available only on 7100 Series interfaces. ■ TCP Reset Interface: Displays the interface that sends TCP resets; either eth0, eth1, or eth2, corresponding to your choice of RST0, RST1, or RST2 when you added the interface group. ■ Bandwidth: Displays the expected throughput for the selected object. ■ Sensor Status: Displays the current status of the related sensor. ■ Description: Displays a brief optional description of the object. ■ Active Security Incidents: Displays the active incidents of the selected topology object, with name, state, node number, and last date modified. About topology mapping To configure Symantec Network Security, first populate the topology database. This includes the following basic steps: ■ Mapping the existing network ■ Gathering information ■ Adding objects for the first time

About the network topology
Viewing object details
When you select an object in the Devices tab, the right pane displays
information about that object. Depending on the selected object, the following
information can appear in the right pane:
Device Type
: Displays the type of device selected.
IP address
: Displays the IP address of the selected device, or the
management IP address for a device with multiple IP addresses.
Node Number
: Displays the node number assigned to the software or
appliance node, between 1 and 120.
Customer ID
: Displays an optional user-defined ID. Customer IDs for in-line
pairs and interface groups reflect the 7100 Series appliance nodes to which
they belong.
Model
: Displays the model number of a 7100 Series appliance, either 7120,
7160, or 7161.
Monitoring Group
: Identifies the monitoring group of the selected device, if
any.
Monitored Networks
: Identifies the networks for which port usage patterns
are tracked and anomalies detected. Displayed only if you entered network
IP addresses on the Network tab when editing interfaces, adding in-line
pairs, or adding interface groups. Available only on 7100 Series interfaces.
TCP Reset Interface
: Displays the interface that sends TCP resets; either
eth0, eth1, or eth2, corresponding to your choice of RST0, RST1, or RST2
when you added the interface group.
Bandwidth
: Displays the expected throughput for the selected object.
Sensor Status
: Displays the current status of the related sensor.
Description
: Displays a brief optional description of the object.
Active Security Incidents
: Displays the active incidents of the selected
topology object, with name, state, node number, and last date modified.
