Element
Description
Slot <number> Credentials

Management IP

The management IP address for the FWSM.

Although this is optional, we recommend that you enter the management IP address because:

If you do not enter the management IP address, Security Manager connects to the Catalyst 6500/7600 device through SSH and then to the FWSM through the session command. The number of concurrent SSH sessions is limited on a Catalyst 6500/7600 device, with a default of 5. Policy discovery uses one SSH session for each security context. If there are a large number of security contexts, even with the retry mechanism in place, Security Manager might fail to connect.

If you do enter the management IP address, Security Manager connects to the FWSM through SSL, which has a greater concurrent session limit.

For FWSM failover management, the management IP address serves as a logical address to connect to an active FWSM. Without the management IP address, Security Manager might connect to a standby FWSM after a failover switch.

Username

The username for the FWSM.

If the device you are adding is a multi-mode FWSM, and you entered the management IP address, you must configure the same username, password, and enable password for both System Space and Admin Context in the Catalyst 6500/7600 device and enter those credentials in this field. For details, see Adding Catalyst 6500/7600 Devices from the Network, page 5-33.

Password

The password for the FWSM. In the Confirm field, enter the password again.

If the device you are adding is a multi-mode FWSM, and you entered the management IP address, you must configure the same username, password, and enable password for both System Space and Admin Context in the Catalyst 6500/7600 device and enter those credentials in this field. For details, see Adding Catalyst 6500/7600 Devices from the Network, page 5-33.

Enable Password

The enable password for the FWSM. In the Confirm field, enter the password again.

If the device you are adding is a multi-mode FWSM, and you entered the management IP address, you must configure the same username, password, and enable password for both System Space and Admin Context in the Catalyst 6500/7600 device and enter those credentials in this field. For details, see Adding Catalyst 6500/7600 Devices from the Network, page 5-33.

Security Manager does not validate whether the data you entered will allow you to contact the device. It validates whether the data is formatted correctly, whether you have entered duplicate display name and hostname combinations, and whether the display name you entered exists in DCR. The following error messages could be displayed:

Cannot Add a Display Name that Exists in DCR

If you are in the Add New Device page and you enter a display name that already exists in DCR (but not in Security Manager), a Duplicate Device Notification window displays the following message:

A device with the same display name exists in DCR. Duplicate display 
names are not allowed in DCR. To change the display name, click No. To 
import the existing device from DCR into Cisco Security Manager, click 
Yes.

If you click No, the Add New Device page appears. You can enter another display name and continue adding the device. For a description of the elements in this page, see Add New Device Wizard.

If you click Yes, the Add Device from DCR page appears, with the device name selected in the DCR List of Devices pane. Click >>. The selected device moves to the Selected Devices pane. For a description of the elements in this page, see Add Device(s) from DCR Wizard.

Cannot Add a DNS Hostname and Domain Name Combination that Exists in DCR

When you are in the Add New Device page and you enter a hostname and domain name combination that already exists in DCR (but not in Security Manager), a Duplicate Device Notification window displays the following message:

A device with the same DNS (hostname + domain name) exists in DCR. 
Duplicate DNS is not allowed in DCR. To change the DNS, click No. To 
import the existing device from DCR into Cisco Security Manager, click 
Yes.

If you click No, the Add New Device page appears. You can enter another hostname and domain name combination and continue adding the device. For a description of the elements in this page, see Add New Device Wizard.

If you click Yes, the Add Device from DCR page appears, with the device name selected in the DCR List of Devices pane. Click >>. The selected device moves to the Selected Devices pane. For a description of the elements in this page, see Add Device(s) from DCR Wizard.

Device Properties Page

You can open the Device Properties page in three ways:

From the Device selector, double-click a device.

Select Tools > Device Properties.

The following topics describe the options in the Device Properties page:

General Page

Credentials Page

Device Groups Page

Policy Object Override Pages

General Page

Use the General page to add or edit information for the following four elements:

Identity

Operating System

DCS Settings

Auto Update or CNS-Configuration Engine


NoteSecurity Manager does not assume that the DNS hostname that appears on the Device Properties page is the same as the hostname that you configured on the device.

When you add a device to Security Manager, you must enter either the management IP address or the DNS hostname. Because it is not possible to determine the management interface and, therefore, the management IP address when you discover from a configuration file, the hostname in the configuration file is used as the DNS hostname. If the hostname is missing in the CLI of the configuration file, the configuration filename is used as the DNS hostname.

During live device discovery, the DNS hostname in the Device Properties page is not updated with the hostname configured on the device. Therefore, if you want to specify the DNS hostname for the device, you must specify it manually when you add the device to Security Manager or on the Device Properties page.

If the DNS hostname or display name of the security context you are discovering exists in DCR, Security Manager appends it with a _01, _02, and so on to give it a unique name.



Caution Cisco Security Manager 3.1 does not support IOS version 12.4(11)T and later routers that use the Cisco CNS Configuration Engine to manage and deploy configurations.
