8 Chapter Configuring nodes and interfaces This chapter includes the following topics: ■ About configuring nodes and interfaces ■ Configuring appliance nodes ■ Configuring appliance interfaces About configuring nodes and interfaces Symantec Network Security maintains a network topology database that you can modify in the Network Security console. The console displays the current network topology in tree form on the Devices tab. The topology tree contains objects representing 7100 Series nodes, Network Security software nodes, monitoring interfaces, routers, network segments, and other aspects of the network. The topology database is established during the initial installation of Symantec Network Security, including several default network objects. Using the Network Security console, you can add or edit objects to make the topology database reflect your actual network configuration. This chapter provides detailed instructions for adding and editing 7100 Series nodes and interfaces, including in-line pairs and interface groups. For information about other topology objects, see the Symantec Network Security Administration Guide.
