Changing the Port ID Value
Introduction
The Proventia A604, A1204, and A1204F appliances can identify the specific port that
detected an event. This enables you to identify the affected network segment. Identifying
the port and network segment aids forensic investigation when up to four unrelated
segments are monitored on one appliance.
Where configured
You change the port ID value on the SiteProtector management console.
Port and adapter
names
Four ports on the back of the appliance, labeled A, B, C, and D, correspond to a parameter
setting for an adapter that is enabled on the management console. The corresponding
settings are adapter.A.name, adapter.B.name, adapter.C.name, and adapter.D.name.
Events detected by the adapter for a port appear in the Event Details window.
Parameters
settings for
adapters
The parameter settings for the adapters are enabled by default in the management
console. Under most circumstances, you do not need to change these parameters.

adapter or change the segment that the adapter is monitoring.
