Configurable parameters provide the tools for customizing the intrusion
detection system to your environment at all levels. The majority of parameters
can be set in both Network Security software nodes and 7100 Series appliance
nodes, with a few exceptions.
Cluster parameter: Applies to all Network Security software nodes or 7100

cluster-wide because it controls communication between all nodes in a
cluster. It is applied first to the master node in a cluster, and then
propagated throughout the cluster.
Node parameters: Apply to an individual Network Security software node or
■
7100 Series node, or a subset of nodes within a cluster. Some settings
depend on the processing capacity of the node and the amount of traffic you
expect it to monitor.
Software nodes: The Network Security software nodes include
■
parameters that allow for variations from the default during
installation, such as
Command, and
are pre-determined for appliances.
Appliance nodes: The

Sensor parameters: Apply to sensor processes only, and can be applied to a

single sensor or a group of sensors.
Configurable parameters provide the tools for customizing the intrusion
detection system to your environment. Two sets of parameters exist, for basic
setup and customizing to your environment, and for advanced tuning for
specialized circumstances.
Basic: Include the basic tools to customize Symantec Network Security to

your environment.
Advanced: In most circumstances, advanced parameters are set with

optimum defaults. For advanced users with very specialized circumstances,
advanced parameters provide a way to tune the sensitivity.
