Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor

SpectraGuard Sensor Installation Guide

Get IP over DHCP:

This field is checked by default. This enables SpectraGuard Sensor to get an IP

address automatically from a DHCP Server. If this field is unchecked, you can set the IP address

manually.

IP Address:

This field can be set only if the

Get IP over DHCP

field is unchecked. This field sets the

IP address of the SpectraGuard Sensor. The IP address should belong to the network segment on

which this SpectraGuard Sensor is to be connected.

Subnet Mask:

This field can be set only if the

Get IP over DHCP

field is unchecked. This field

represents the mask of the network segment to which SpectraGuard Sensor will be connected.

Gateway IP Address:

This field can be set only if the

Get IP over DHCP

field is unchecked. When

Ethernet traffic from the subnet is forwarded to another network, it is sent through the Gateway.

Enter the Gateway IP Address for the subnet on which this SpectraGuard Sensor is to be connected.

Note:

You need to change the IP address only if you do not have a DHCP Server to assign an IP address

automatically.

Route Settings

Normally, you do not need to specify the route settings and these fields can be left blank. You

should specify the route settings only if the default gateway provided by DHCP is not the gateway

to the network segment where the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is installed.

Add a Network:

Checking this field allows you to add a network route to communicate with

SpectraGuard Enterprise Server.

Network ID:

This field specifies the network segment ID where the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server

is connected.

Subnet Mask:

This field represents the mask of the network segment where the SpectraGuard

Enterprise Server is connected.

Gateway IP Address:

This field is the IP address of the gateway to the network segment where the

SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is connected.

Note:

If the

“

Add a Network

”

checkbox is not checked, then the Network ID, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP

Address are disabled.

5.3.4

Step 4: Change Discovery Settings

Discovery Settings set up the discovery of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server by the SpectraGuard

Sensor. These settings must be manually configured only if SpectraGuard Sensor is unable to locate

the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server.
