Chapter 8 Configuring Event Action Rules

Configuring Target Value Ratings

ipv6-target-addressip_address—Specifies the range set of IP address(es) for IPv6 addresses in the following form: <XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>-<XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX: XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>[,<XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>- <XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX>]

 

 

 

 

Adding, Editing, and Deleting Target Value Ratings

 

 

 

 

To add, edit, and delete target value ratings for your network assets, follow these steps:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1

Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.

 

 

 

Step 2

Enter event action rules submode.

 

 

 

 

sensor# configure terminal

 

 

 

 

sensor(config)# service event-action-rules rules1

 

 

 

Step 3

Assign an IPv4 target value rating to the network asset.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)#target-value mission-critical target-address 192.0.2.0

 

 

 

Step 4

Assign an IPv6 target value rating to the network asset.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)#ipv6-target-value mission-critical ipv6-target-address

 

 

 

 

2001:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:abcd:ef12

 

 

 

Step 5

Verify that you added the target value rating.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)# show settings

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

target-value (min: 0, max: 5, current: 1)

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

target-value-setting: mission-critical

 

 

 

 

target-address: 192.0.2.0 default: 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

ipv6-target-value (min: 0, max: 5, current: 2)

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

ipv6-target-value-setting: mission-critical

 

 

 

 

ipv6-target-address: 2001:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:abcd:ef12 default: ::0-

 

 

 

 

FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)#

 

 

 

Step 6

To edit a target value rating, change the target value rating setting of the asset.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)#target-value low target-address 192.0.2.0

 

 

 

Step 7

Verify that you edited the target value rating.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)# show settings

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

target-value (min: 0, max: 5, current: 1)

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

target-value-setting: low

 

 

 

 

target-address: 192.0.2.0 default: 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

Step 8

Delete the target value rating.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)#no ipv6-target-value mission-critical

 

 

 

Step 9

Verify that you deleted the target value rating.

 

 

 

 

sensor(config-eve)# show settings

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------
