Network Objects represent the components of your network, such as individual
host machines, servers, and subnets. You must add the IDP Sensor as a Network
Object before the IDP system is functional. You can also create Network Objects
for the network components you want to protect.
To add the IDP Sensor as a Network Object:
1. Double-click the Object component in the Navigation Tree and select
Network Objects.
2. Choose
File > New Object
from the menu bar to display the Select
Object Type dialog box. Click OK.
3. Select Sensor and then click OK to display the Sensor Editor. Enter the
information about the Sensor, including a unique name. Use the VIN
and One-Time Password from “Configure the IDP Sensor” on page 17.
If you are deploying IDP in gateway mode, click the Interfaces tab to
specify which IDP interfaces are external. You can also add anti-
spoofing information using the Anti Spoof tab.
4. Click OK. A confirmation dialog box appears, prompting you to register
your new Sensor with the Juniper Networks customer support Web site.
Click the registration link to register the Sensor (registration is
required for Attack Object updates).
5. From the toolbar, click
to save the new IDP Sensor object to the IDP
system. The IDP Sensor Network Object is added to the Network Object
database.
