appliance

Installing the physical appliance

S550 appliance installation workflow

Step

Action

Description

1

Complete all items in the

pre-installation checklist.

Completing the pre-installation checklist ensures that you have everything you

need to install an appliance. It also ensures that you have completed all the

tasks required before installation begins.

Pre-installation checklist for physical appliances

Physical Appliance Installation Worksheet

2

Install the appliance.

Install the hardware in a rack and connect network cables and power cables.

Connecting the cables

Note: 

 The appliance's role (all-in-one, management platform, or network

scanner) and operating mode determine the cable connections and port

mappings.

Note: 

About operating roles, operating modes, and network connections

Powering on the S550 appliance and verifying the LEDs

Configuring the serial terminal or terminal emulation software

Rack-mounting the appliance

3

Run bootstrap.

Open the console and run the bootstrap.

During bootstrap, you are prompted to provide appliance configuration

information. Your Symantec EDR administrator provides you this information on

the Installation checklist.

Running bootstrap to configure the appliance

4

Run the 

status_check

command.

Run the command 

status_check

 to determine if the network connectivity has

been set up properly. The command lists all of the items that are checked and

the status of whether each item is successful or not.

status_check command

5

Run the setup wizard.

Management platform or

all-in-one appliances only.

The Symantec EDR setup wizard guides you through the mandatory

configuration steps of an all-in-one or management platform device. This set

up includes uploading the product license and creating the first administrator

account so that you can log on to the EDR appliance console.

Running the setup wizard

6

Perform the post-

installation tasks and

configurations.

For all configurations

except management

platform.

After you exit the setup wizard, log on to the EDR appliance console. Perform

the recommended tasks to start scanning traffic and collecting incident and

event data.

Completing setup tasks

7

Test the appliance.

Run the 

status_check

 command again to determine if configuration settings

have been correctly specified.

Symantec has a test webpage, 

http://testatp.coe.org.uk

, that contains a series

of links. When you click on each of the links, you should see a corresponding

incident in the database.

In Inline Block mode, file downloads should be interrupted. You should also test

whether bypass mode works correctly.

Testing Symantec EDR for successful monitoring or blocking

Testing the appliance bypass mode
