Included Items
Chapter 3
Included Items
The following is a list of components that ship with Sourcefire appliances. As you
unpack the system and the associated accessories, check that your package
contents are complete as follows:
• one Sourcefire appliance
• power cord (two power cords are included with appliances that include
redundant power supplies)
• Category 5e Ethernet straight-through cables: one for a Defense Center;
two for a managed device
• one rack-mounting kit (not applicable to the 3D500/1000/2000; required tray
and rack-mounting kit available separately for the 3D7010/7020/7030)
Security Considerations
Before you install your appliance, Sourcefire recommends that you consider the
following:
• Locate your Sourcefire 3D System appliance in a lockable rack within a
secure location that prevents access by unauthorized personnel. Place a
desktop device (3D500/1000/2000) within a secure location that prevents
access by unauthorized personnel.
• Allow only trained and qualified personnel to install, replace, administer, or
service the Sourcefire appliance.
• Always connect the management interface to a secure internal
management network that is protected from unauthorized access.
• Identify the specific workstation IP addresses that can be allowed to access
appliances. Restrict access to the appliance to only those specific hosts
using Access Lists within the appliance’s system policy. For more
information, see the Sourcefire 3D System User Guide.
Identifying the Management Interfaces
You connect each appliance in your deployment to the network using the
management interface. This allows the Defense Center to communicate with and
administer the devices it manages.
Sourcefire appliances are delivered on different hardware platforms. Make sure
you refer to the correct illustration for your appliance as you follow the installation
procedure:
• Sourcefire Defense Center 750 on page 59
• Sourcefire Defense Center 1500 on page 59
• Sourcefire Defense Center 3500 on page 60
