78 Populating the topology database Managing the topology tree Table 4-1 Information to gather Field Description Interface name Synchronization passphrases For each interface in the topology tree, follow the naming convention of the manufacturer for that interface, such as qfe0 or fa/0. For some objects in the topology tree, provide a unique synchronization passphrase between 6 and 64 characters, inclusive. This enables nodes to communicate securely during database synchronization and cross-node event correlation. Make a note of the synchronization passphrase so you can supply it when you physically install the slave node. Note: You cannot edit this passphrase. If you fail to provide, or provide an erroneous passphrase when you add the slave node, you must delete the node, create a new one, and assign a new synchronization passphrase to it. Managing the topology tree To configure Symantec Network Security, first populate the topology database to provide key information about your network. Collect this key information described in the Gathering information section. After you add this information to the database, you can edit it at any time by modifying the tree, and adjust to new information, network reorganization, or other changes to the network. This section describes how to edit and delete object information, reverse or save your changes, refresh your view, and back up your topology database, as follows: ■ Viewing auto-generated objects ■ Viewing node details ■ Viewing node status ■ Adding objects for the first time ■ Editing objects ■ Deleting objects ■ Reverting changes ■ Saving changes ■ Forcing nodes to synchronize ■ Backing up
