After you install a new Defense Center or Series 2 device, or delete its network
settings as part of a reimage, you must configure the appliance to communicate
on your management network. Complete this step by running a script at the
console.
The Sourcefire 3D System provides a dual stack implementation for both IPv4 and
IPv6 management environments. First, the script prompts you to configure (or
disable) IPv4 management settings, then IPv6. For IPv6 deployments, you can
retrieve settings from a local router. You must provide the IPv4 or IPv6
management IP address, netmask or prefix length, and default gateway.
When following the script's prompts, for multiple-choice questions, your options
are listed in parentheses, such as

Note that the script prompts you for much of the same setup information that the

4. Follow the script's prompts.
Configure (or disable) IPv4 management settings first, then IPv6. If you
manually specify network settings, you must:
• enter IPv4 addresses, including the netmask, in dotted decimal form.
For example, you could specify a netmask of 255.255.0.0.
• enter IPv6 addresses in colon-separated hexadecimal form. For an IPv6
prefix, specify the number of bits; for example, a prefix length of 112.
5. Confirm that your settings are correct.
If you entered settings incorrectly, type
can then enter the correct information. The console may display messages as
your settings are implemented.
