Configure network settings for the device.
First configure (or disable) IPv4 management settings, then IPv6. If you
manually specify network settings, you must:
•
enter IPv4 addresses, including the netmask, in dotted decimal form.
For example, you could specify a netmask of 255.255.0.0.
•
enter IPv6 addresses in colon-separated hexadecimal form. For an IPv6
prefix, specify the number of bits; for example, a prefix length of 112.
For more information, see
on page 96. The console may
display messages as your settings are implemented.
5.
Select whether you want to allow changing of the device’s network settings
using the LCD panel.
WARNING!
Enabling this option can present a security risk. You need only
physical access, not authentication, to configure network settings using the
LCD panel. For more information, see
Using the LCD Panel on a Series 3
6.
Specify the detection mode based on how you deployed the device.
For more information, see
on page 98. The console may
display messages as your settings are implemented. When finished, the
device reminds you to register this device to a Defense Center, and displays
the CLI prompt.

To use the CLI to register the device to the Defense Center that will manage
it, continue with the next section,
Registering a Series 3 Device to a Defense
You must manage devices with a Defense Center. If you do not register the
device now, you must log in later and register it before you can add it to a
Defense Center.

Series 3
If you configured a Series 3 device using the CLI, Sourcefire recommends that
you use the CLI to register the device to a Defense Center at the conclusion of
the setup script. It is easiest to register a device to its Defense Center during the
initial setup process, because you are already logged into the device’s CLI.
To register a device, use the
configure manager add
command. A unique
alphanumeric registration key is always required to register a device to a Defense
Center. This is a simple key that you specify, and is not the same as a license key.
