Configuration Overview
Once you have configured the Sensor and Analyzer elements in the Management Client, you
must transfer the initial configuration to the physical sensor and analyzer engines.
You must complete the following steps:
1. Save the initial configuration in the Management Client. See
Configuration for Sensors and Analyzers
2. Transfer the initial configuration to the physical sensor and analyzer engines. See
Transferring the Initial Configuration to Sensors and Analyzers
Saving the Initial Configuration for Sensors and
Analyzers
The initial configuration sets some basic parameters for the Sensors and Analyzers and triggers
the creation of one-time passwords needed to establish a connection with the Management
Server.
There are three ways to initialize your IPS engines and establish contact between them and the
Management Server.
•
You can write down the one-time password and enter all information manually in the
command-line Configuration Wizard on the engines.
•
You can save the configuration on a floppy disk or a USB memory stick and make some
manual changes in the command-line Configuration Wizard on the engines.
•
You can save the initial configuration on a USB memory stick and use the memory stick to
automatically configure the engine without using the Configuration Wizard.
To save the initial configuration
1.

. A list of IPS engine elements opens.
Note – The automatic configuration is primarily intended to be used with StoneGate
appliances, and may not work in all other environments.
