Reconfigure/Redeploy a sensor
The Redeploy button is used when you need to replace a sensor model with another one keeping the same network configurations (e.g. replacing a Cisco IE3400 with a Cat 9300), change configurations, or if you need to reconfigure the sensor (e.g. to enable Active Discovery).
To do so:
Procedure
Step 1 |
On the Sensor Explorer page, click the sensor to reconfigure/redeploy. The sensor right side panel appears. |
Step 2 |
Click Redeploy. A pop up asking to confirm the redeployment of the sensor appears. |
Step 3 |
Click OK to proceed. A summary of the sensor configuration is displayed. In this example, we're going to change the Collection VLAN number. |
Step 4 |
Click Start. |
Step 5 |
Enter the credentials to reach the sensor to redeploy and click Connect. |
Step 6 |
Click the blue link to fill the warning fields with the current sensor configuration. We change the Collection VLAN number value to 49. |
Step 7 |
Click Next. |
Step 8 |
You can enable Active Discovery selecting Passive and Active Discovery. |
Step 9 |
Click Deploy. A message saying that the sensor is being redeployed appears. You can either go the jobs page or go back to the Sensor Explorer page. |
Step 10 |
Click Go to the jobs page. You are redirected to the Management jobs page to see the redeployment advancement. This can take several minutes. If you go back to the Sensor Explorer page, you will see that the sensor is in Redeploying status. Once the redeployment is finished, the sensor will switch status to connected and the Active Discovery to Enabled. |
