Configuring Blocking and Rate Limiting Devices
Note
This changes the IP address in the first line of the ACL from the IP address of the sensor to the
NAT address. This is not a NAT address configured on the device being managed. It is the
address the sensor is translated to by an intermediate device, one that is between the sensor and
the device being managed.
Step 7
Specify the VLAN number.
sensor(config-net-cat)# block-vlans vlan_number
Step 8
(Optional) Add the pre-VACL name.
sensor(config-net-cat-blo)# pre-vacl-name pre_vacl_name
Step 9
(Optional) Add the post-VACL name.
sensor(config-net-cat-blo)# post-vacl-name post_vacl_name
Step 10
Exit network access submode.
sensor(config-net-cat-blo)# exit
sensor(config-net-cat)# exit
sensor(config-net)# exit
sensor(config)# exit

Hosts List, page 3-46.
Configuring the Sensor to Manage Cisco Firewalls
To configure the sensor to manage Cisco firewalls, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2
Enter network access submode.
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service network-access
sensor(config-net)#
Step 3
Specify the IP address for the firewall controlled by the ARC.
sensor(config-net)# firewall-devices ip_address
Step 4
Enter the user profile name that you created when you configured the user profile. ARC accepts anything
you type. It does not check to see if the logical device exists.
sensor(config-net-fir)# profile-name user_profile_name
Step 5
Specify the method used to access the sensor. If unspecified, SSH 3DES is used.
sensor(config-net-fir)# communication {telnet | ssh-3des}
