Set Up Communications with Defense Center
Establishing the connection between a 3D Sensor and the Defense Center is a two-step
process. You need to:
Set up communications with the Defense Center on the sensor.
1.
Add the sensor to the Defense Center.
2.
To set up communications on the sensor, you must specify the management interface to
use, the IP address of the Defense Center, and provide registration information for
security purposes.
Once you have done this, you can add the sensor to the Defense Center, using the
registration information you supplied on sensor.
To set up communications with the Defense Center
Select the Sourcefire Sensor link from the tree view.
1.
Provide the following information on the Sourcefire Sensor Configuration page:
2.
Management Interface—the interface that will be used for Defense Center
communications. You can choose only from the interfaces that are in the Up
status.
Management Host—the IP address or host name of the Defense Center.
Use a hostname rather than an IP address if your network uses DHCP to assign
IP addresses.
Registration ID—an optional alphanumeric value you can define as an
additional security check. If you specify an ID, you will have to provide this ID
when you add the sensor to the Defense Center.
This ID is useful in a network environment that uses network address translation
and more than one host could have the same IP address.
Registration Key—a one-time-use registration key that you define and that you
must provide when you add the sensor to the Defense Center.
Management Port—the TCP port number you want to use for communications
between the Defense Center and the sensor. The default value is
All appliances in your deployment should use the same port number.
