6. If the Sensor is not on the same network as the Manager, set the address of the default gateway. Type set sensor gateway

<A.B.C.D> at the prompt.Example:set sensor gateway 192.168.3.68

7. Set the IP address of the Manager server. Type set manager ip <A.B.C.D> at the prompt.Example:set manager ip

192.168.2.8

8. Set the IP address and subnet mask of the Sensor. Type set sensor ip <A.B.C.D> <E.F.G.H> at the prompt.Example:set

sensor ip 192.168.2.12 255.255.255.0

Specify an IP address using four octets separated by periods: X.X.X.X, where X is a number between 0 and 255, followed

by a subnet mask in the same format.

9. If prompted, reboot the Sensor. Type reboot

The Sensor can take up to ve minutes to complete its reboot.

10. Ping the Manager from the Sensor to determine if your conguration settings to this point have successfully established the

Sensor on the network. At the prompt, type the following command:ping <manager IP address>.If the ping is successful,

continue with the following steps. If not, type show to verify your conguration settings and check if the information is

correct.

11. Set the shared secret key value for the Sensor. At the prompt, type the following command:set sensor

sharedsecretkeyThe Sensor then prompts you to enter and, subsequently, conrm the shared secret key value.

This value is used to establish a trust relationship between the Sensor and the Manager. The secret key value can be

between 8 and 25 characters of any ASCII text. The shared key value is case-sensitive. Make sure the value matches the

shared secret key value you provided in the Manager interface while adding the Sensor.

12.

Type show to verify the conguration information. Check that all information is correct.

13.

Type exit to exit the session.

Considerations for failover in stacked Sensors

While conguring failover for a stack, you need to take the following factors into consideration:

Both the stacks must be identical to each other with identical connections, network modules, and capacity.

Ensure you have the correct license to congure failover for a stack. The licenses required are as follows:
