Your Sensor is actively monitoring connected segments and communicating with the Manager for

administration and management operations.

For detailed usage instructions, see the McAfee Network Security Platform IPS Administration Guide, or click

the

Detailed Help

buttons in the upper-right corner of each window in the Manager.

Start the

Analysis

Threat Analyzer

to view alert statistics as attacks are detected. A summary of alerts is

displayed in the

Unacknowledged Alert Summary

area of the Manager

Dashboard

page.

Having problems? See the McAfee Network Security Platform Troubleshooting Guide for troubleshooting

information.

Most deployment problems stem from configuration mismatches between the Sensor and the network

devices to which it is connected. Check the duplex and auto-negotiation settings on both devices to

ensure that they are synchronized.
