Sentriant NG Operation Console User Guide, Software Version 2.5
The event viewer panel used to view and manage network activity
events. The Events Viewer maintains logs about Sentriant NG,
configuration, network activity events.
Exclude is used to fine tune IP Addresses and ports to be monitored
when Include is used to monitor range(s) of IP Addresses. For
example, if an IP Address falls within the Include IP Addresses that
are used for network management purposes only, it may become
necessary to exclude that IP Address to prevent erroneous threats. By
adding the IP Address to the Exclude tables, it will not be monitored
by the Sentriant NG.
Term used that covers the IP Addresses and traffic between the IP
Addresses monitored by Sentriant NG(s). A fabric may be made up of
multiple switches, gateways, and Sentriant NGs of a WAN.
Include allows the configuration of specific IP Addresses and ports to
be monitored by the Sentriant NG. IP Addresses and ports are added
to a rule using a session profile that sets a single or range of source
and/or IP Addresses and ports. When session profiles are added to a
rule, only values that are in the session profile are monitored on the
source segment. For example, if you wish to create a Too Many
Protected Web Server rule where protected web server IP Addresses
are 10.10.10.1 through 10.10.10.5 with one more at 10.10.10.19, then a
session profile would have the following values:
Source IP - empty
Source Port - empty
Target IP - 10.10.10.1-5,19
Target Port - empty
If you only wanted to count the threats on port 80, then you would
change the Target port to 80.
If no session profiles are entered, then by default all traffic will be
included.
Also referred to as Internet protocol address. It consists of four 8-bit
numbers (represented as integers) called octets. Most often, each part
of the IP Address is a number between 0 and 225; however, the first
number must be less than 224 and the last number cannot be 0.
Networks using the TCP/IP protocol to route messages based on the
IP Address of the destination. Connecting a private network to the
Internet requires using registered IP Addresses (called Internet
addresses) to avoid duplicates.
