Note: After adding a software node to the topology tree, you must install
Symantec Network Security on the designated computer. The installation
process populates the fields in the Advanced Network Options tab.

Caution: Click Topology > Save Changes before quitting the Network
Security console. You will lose any unsaved changes when you exit.
For the sensor to run, you must add interfaces and a protection policy to each
interface. To enable TrackBack to query flow data from this node, you must
apply the sensor parameter for flow statistics, and execute the TrackBack
response policy.

Viewing advanced network options
The Advanced Network Options tab contains information about the designated
computer that this node represents in the topology tree. The installation
process automatically provides this information. The Advanced Network
Options tab now provides a way to edit the node from the Network Security
console after installation. You can add a NAT device, for example, and assign a
private IP address after installation.
When you edit the node, the Network Security console determines whether the
IP address of the node has changed. If so, it prompts you to reboot. It modifies
the topology database on the single node and the master node, in that order, and
ensures that during synchronization, the data on the master node takes
precedence.
