Nokia Intrusion Prevention with Sourcefire Appliance Quick Setup Guide
Before You Begin
Plan Your Deployment
Before you begin installing and configuring your Nokia appliance, plan how you will
deploy the Nokia Intrusion Prevention with Sourcefire components as part of a network
and enterprise security plan.
The
Nokia Intrusion Prevention with Sourcefire User’s Guide
provides information on
intrusion prevention considerations, on network deployment scenarios, and on the use of
network devices, such as hubs, switches, and taps, to connect your sensor.
Set Up the Defense Center
You should set up your Defense Center before you install and configure your 3D Sensors.
To set up the Defense Center, see the first two chapters of the
Sourcefire
Defense Center
for Nokia Installation Guide
. This guide is available on the Documentation and Restore
CD that is shipped with the Defense Center.
Nokia appliances can be configured to synchronize time with an NTP time server. A
recommended way to achieve time synchronization between 3D Sensors and the Defense
Center is to configure the Defense Center to be an NTP server that can serve time to the
sensors. To do so, when you configure the system policy for the Defense Center during
the initial setup, set the Serve Time via NTP field to enabled.
