McAfee NS9100 - Check Sensor Status and Manager View; Configure Port Settings

4 Select your added Sensor: Device List | <Device_Name>. The ports for this Sensor appear under the
<Device_Name> node.
<Device_Name> indicates the name of the Sensor you added.
5 A policy named Default Inline IPS is active upon Sensor addition. To view this policy, select IPS Settings | Policies
| IPS Policy Editor. Select Default Inline IPS from the list and click View / Edit.
The Default Inline IPS policy contains attacks already congured with a "blocking" Sensor response action; if
any attack in the policy is triggered, the Sensor automatically blocks the attack. To tune this or any other
McAfee-provided policies, you can clone the policy and then customize it as described in the McAfee Network
Security Platform IPS Administration Guide.
6 Click Device List | <Device_Name> | Port Settings.

To view port settings, select the port on the Sensor that you cabled. Ensure that your port settings match the
cabling, for example, if port 1 is cabled for the in-line mode then the Operating Mode in the port setting should
be in-line mode.
For more information on port settings, see Conguration Sensor monitoring and response ports, McAfee
Network Security Platform Device Administration Guide.
You're up and running!
Your Sensor is actively monitoring connected segments and communicating with the Manager for
