94 Populating the topology database Adding nodes and objects 9 In Description, enter an optional description of up to 255 characters, and click OK. You may want to enter the serial number of the appliance here for later reference. The serial number is found on the label on the back panel of the appliance, with the prefix S/N. See "Description" on page 77. Note: After adding a 7100 Series node to the topology tree, you must perform initial configuration on the designated appliance. The initial configuration process populates the fields in the Advanced Network Options tab. See "Viewing advanced network options" on page 94. Caution: Click Topology > Save Changes before quitting the Network Security console. You will lose any unsaved changes when you exit. Adding the 7100 Series node automatically creates the interface objects. You cannot add or delete interfaces on a 7100 Series node, but you can create interface groups or in-line pairs from the existing interfaces on the node. For the sensor to run, you must add a protection policy to each interface, interface group, or in-line pair. To enable TrackBack to query flow data from this node, you must apply the sensor parameter for flow statistics, and execute the TrackBack response policy. ■ See "About 7100 Series interfaces" on page 95. ■ 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 "Deleting objects" on page 81. Viewing advanced network options The Advanced Network Options tab contains information about the designated appliance that this node represents in the topology tree. The initial configuration process automatically provides this information. The fields remain blank until then. After physical installation and initial configuration, you can edit the node object and click the Advanced Network Options tab to view the populated fields.
