If you add an interface in a network segment that does not yet have an object
in the topology tree, Symantec Network Security automatically creates an
object for the new network segment under the Managed Network Segments
category. You can edit the default name (
Untitled
) and description for this
new network segment object.

About Smart Agents
Symantec Network Security Smart Agents are translation software that enable
Symantec Network Security to receive event data from external sensors, and
correlate that data with all other events.
Smart Agents expand the security umbrella and enhance the threat detection
value of existing security assets by aggregating third-party intrusion events into
Symantec Network Security, which leverages its correlation, analysis, and
response functionality.
Symantec Network Security contains an internal Smart Agent configuration to
integrate Symantec Decoy Server events. To integrate events from any other
external sensor, you must install an external Smart Agent
designed
for that
sensor, and add a Smart Agent object to the topology tree to represent it.
