McAfee NS9100 - Configure Sensor Information

The shared secret must be a minimum of 8 characters and maximum of 25 characters in length. The key
cannot start with an exclamation mark nor can have any spaces. The parameters that you can use to
dene the key are:
• 26 alphabets: upper and lower case (a,b,c,...z and A, B, C,...Z)
• 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
• 32 symbols: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + ‑ = [ ] { } \ | ; : " ' , . <? /
The Sensor name and shared secret key that you enter in the Manager must be identical to
the shared secret that you will later enter during physical installation/initialization of the
Sensor (using CLI) in Step 10 - Congure Sensor information. If not, the Sensor will not be able
to register itself with the Manager.

Congure the Sensor with the network information, a name, and the shared secret key that the Sensor uses to
establish secure communication with the Manager. Use the name and key values you set in Step 9 - Add the
Sensor to the Manager.
The rst time you congure a Sensor, you must have physical access to the Sensor.
At any time during conguration, you can type a question mark (?) to get help on the Sensor CLI commands. For
a list of all commands, type commands.
