Configuring nodes and interfaces
Configuring appliance nodes
Adding or editing an appliance node
The procedures for adding and editing Symantec Network Security 7100 Series
nodes are very similar. The Edit dialog box has the same editable fields as the
Add dialog box, with the exception of the Master Node Sync Information field.
The interface objects for 7100 Series nodes are automatically created when the
node is added. 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, in-line
pair, or interface group.
See
“Starting a sensor on an appliance interface”
on page 115. See the
Symantec
Network Security Administration Guide
for detailed information.
