Initializing the Sensor
The setup command at the CLI walks you through initialization. You can do the following:
- Assign a hostname to the sensor. This is case sensitive. It defaults to sensor.
- Assign an IP address to the command and control interface. The default is 10.1.9.201/24.
- Assign a default gateway. The default is 10.1.9.1.
- Enable or disable the Telnet server. Telnet is disabled by default.
- Specify the web server port. The default is 443.
- Create network access control lists (ACL) that can access the sensor for management.
- Configure the date and time.
- Configure the sensor interfaces.
- Configure virtual sensors. This enables the configuration of promiscuous and inline interface pairs.
- Configure threat prevention. An event action override denies high-risk network traffic with a risk rating of 90 to 100. This option lets you disable this feature.
