Field Description
Interface name For each interface in the topology tree, follow the naming
convention of the manufacturer for that interface, such as qfe0
or fa/0.
Synchronization For some objects in the topology tree, provide a unique
passphrases synchronization passphrase between 6 and 64 characters,
inclusive. This enables nodes to communicate securely during
database synchronization and cross-node event correlation. Make
a note of the synchronization passphrase so you can supply it
when you physically install the slave node.
Note: You cannot edit this passphrase. If you fail to provide, or
provide an erroneous passphrase when you add the slave node,
you must delete the node, create a new one, and assign a new
synchronization passphrase to it.
To configure Symantec Network Security, first populate the topology database
to provide key information about your network. Collect this key information
described in the Gathering information
to the database, you can edit it at any time by modifying the tree, and adjust to
new information, network reorganization, or other changes to the network.
This section describes how to edit and delete object information, reverse or save
your changes, refresh your view, and back up your topology database, as follows:
