Changing Sensor values
Changing certain values on the Sensor, like the Sensor's name or Sensor IP address,
require you to "break trust" between the Sensor and the Manager before you make the
change, and then re-establish the communication with the Manager. Essentially, the
Manager knows the Sensor by a specific set of information; if you want to change any of it,
you must re-establish the communication with the Manager.
Changing any of these values requires you to "break trust" with the Manager:

and re-add it, or in other words, re-configure the Sensor from the beginning. For
instructions, see Add the Sensor to Manager (on page 48) and then Configuring
the Sensor (on page 46).
Sensor shared secret
Manager IP
Sensor IP and subnet mask
On the Sensor, type deinstall.
This breaks the trust relationship with the Manager.
Type the command and the new value.
For example, type set manager IP 192.168.3.2
Type the
Sensor shared secret. (This value must match the value set for the Sensor in the Manager
interface.)
Example: set sensor sharedsecretkey
The Sensor then prompts you to enter a shared secret key value. Type the shared
secret key value at the prompt. The Sensor then prompts you to verify the value. Type
the value again.
The shared secret key value must be between 8 and 25 characters of
Note:
ASCII text. The shared secret key value is case-sensitive. Example:
IPSkey123
If you changed the Sensor IP address, then you must reboot the Sensor.
Type reboot
You must confirm that you want to reboot the Sensor.
