Initializing the Sensor

Initializing the Sensor

The setup command at the CLI walks you through initialization. You can do the following:

■ Assign a hostname to the sensor. This is case sensitive. It defaults to sensor.

■ Assign an IP address to the command and control interface. The default is 10.1.9.201/24.

■ Assign a default gateway. The default is 10.1.9.1.

■ Enable or disable the Telnet server. Telnet is disabled by default.

■ Specify the web server port. The default is 443.

■ Create network access control lists (ACL) that can access the sensor for management.

■ Configure the date and time.

■ Configure the sensor interfaces.

■ Configure virtual sensors. This enables the configuration of promiscuous and inline interface pairs.

■ Configure threat prevention. An event action override denies high-risk network traffic with a risk rating of 90 to 100. This option lets you disable this feature.
