Version 5.2 Sourcefire 3D System Installation Guide 86
CHAPTER 4
SETTING UP A SOURCEFIRE 3D SYSTEM
A
PPLIANCE
After you deploy and install a Sourcefire appliance, you must complete a setup
process that allows the new appliance to communicate on your trusted
management network. You must also change the administrator password and
accept the end user license agreement (EULA).
The setup process also allows you to perform many initial administrative-level
tasks, such as setting the time, registering and licensing devices, and scheduling
updates. The options you choose during setup and registration determine the
default interfaces, inline sets, zones, and policies that the system creates and
applies.
The purpose of these initial configurations and policies is to provide an
out-of-the-box experience and to help you quickly set up your deployment, not to
restrict your options. Regardless of how you initially configure a device, you can
change its configuration at any time using the Defense Center. In other words,
choosing a detection mode or access control policy during setup, for example,
does not lock you into a specific device, zone, or policy configuration.
For more information on each of the steps in the initial setup process, see the
following sections:
• Understanding the Setup Process on page 87 outlines the setup process,
which depends on the appliance’s model and whether you have physical
access to the appliance.
IMPORTANT! If you are not already familiar with the setup process,
Sourcefire strongly recommends you read this section first.
