Configuring the IDP Sensor with ACM
The ACM is a Web-based tool that allows you to configure the IDP Sensor to work
with your network. You follow the on-screen instructions as the ACM wizard leads
you through the configuration.
The ACM supports Mozilla 1.0.1 and IE 6.0 Web browsers. If the font size is too
small or difficult to read in your Mozilla Web browser, increase the font size.
To view the ACM online help, click the ? icon in the upper right corner.
During the configuration process, you choose a one-time password (OTP) and are
given a VIN for the Sensor. You should record the VIN and OTP as you will need
them to configure network objects in the IDP User Interface.
See Table 10 for a summary of the information you need to complete the ACM
configuration.
After you have saved and applied a configuration to the IDP Sensor, exit the ACM by
closing the Web browser window.
You can now disconnect the serial console or other standalone computer from the
IDP Sensor. If you changed the IP address of a standalone computer to access the
ACM, be sure to change it back to its original IP address.
To connect to a switch or hub, use a straight-through Ethernet cable; to connect to a
firewall or router, use a crossover Ethernet cable.
Connect the out-of-band RJ-45 Ethernet Management port on the IDP Sensor to the
management network.
Connect the ports on the Sensor to either the protected network or the external
network. See Chapter 2, Planning an Installation for the configuration you chose to
implement.
Once you have set up all the machines in the HA cluster, connect their HA ports
either to each other (if there are only 2) using a crossover cable, or to a switch (if
there are more than 2) using straight-through cables.
