Outlines the multi-stage process for deploying Cyber Vision sensors, including preparing switches and routers, configuring traffic monitoring, and provisioning sensor applications for active discovery and packet capture on single or multiple devices.
Summary
Deploying Cyber Cision sensor applications on network devices is a multi-stage process that involves preparing your devices, configuring network traffic monitoring, and provisioning sensors that are capable of active discovery and packet capture.Workflow
- Prepare the devices The following steps are crucial for successful deployment of sensors on your switches and routers:
- (Switches only) Format or partition switch memory.
- NTP Synchronization: Synchronize device and Center clock to ensure accurate reporting.
- Enable IOx services on the device.
- Set up traffic monitoringConfigure traffic monitoring at the device level by setting up:
- Mirroring VLANs or interfaces
- Collection VLANs or interfaces
- Gateways, where applicable
- External IP address or NAT to allow connection to the Cyber Vision Center
- Provision and deploy the sensor applicationYou can provision sensors on one device at a time, or on multiple devices. The recommended provisioning and deployment method is to use the sensor management extension.For testing purposes or in case of connectivity issues, you can carry out a manual deployment process.
