Enabling this option can represent a security risk. You need only
physical access, not authentication, to configure network settings using the LCD

Remote Management
You must manage a Sourcefire device with a Defense Center. For your
convenience, the setup page allows you to preregister the device to the Defense
Center that will manage it.
Leave the
Register This Device Now
check box enabled, then specify the IP address
or fully qualified domain name of the managing Defense Center as the
Management Host
. Also, type the alphanumeric
Registration Key
you will later use to
register the device to the Defense Center. Note that this is a simple key that you
specify, and is not the same as the license key.
IMPORTANT!
If the device and Defense Center are separated by a network
address translation (NAT) device, defer device registration until after you complete
the initial setup. See the Managing Devices chapter in the
Sourcefire 3D System
User Guide
for more information.
