Chapter 1: Planning an Installation

To use an IDP sensor as a passive intrusion detection system without prevention capabilities, deploy the sensor in passive sniffer mode to monitor and log network traffic. If the sensor is attached to a network switch, you must configure the switch to mirror all traffic to that port. The IDP sensor defaults to sniffer mode.

„Active mode—The gateway (inline) mode is active. This mode takes full advantage of IDP attack prevention capabilities and multimethod detection mechanisms.

With inline modes, the sensor is directly involved in the packet flow. The sensor can stop attacks by dropping malicious packets before they reach their target.

Inline sensors are typically configured in transparent mode. For other inline modes, see “Advanced Configuration” on page 43.

NOTE: For IDP 8200 Release 4.2, only transparent mode is available.

One step in setting up IDP on your network is to decide on a deployment mode. Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate the possible deployment modes and their primary advantages and disadvantages.
