Chapter 4: Configuring the IDP Sensor

2. On a connected computer, open a Web browser. Type https://192.168.1.1.

NOTE: Because the ACM uses an SSL connection, you must type https:// before the

IP address.

3.Type the default user name (root) and password (abc123).

4.Skip to “Simple or Advanced Configuration Using the Management Port” on page 25.

Connecting Remotely Using the Management Port

To connect to the management port remotely over the network, you must first have configured an IP address for the sensor. See “Using the Console Serial Port to Configure the Sensor” on page 22.

To connect remotely to the management port:

1.On a connected computer, open a Web browser.

2.Type the URL of the ACM wizard using the IP address you configured. For example, if you configured the IP address 10.100.200.1 on the IDP sensor, type https://10.100.200.1 in the browser’s Address or Location box.

NOTE: Because the ACM uses an SSL connection, you must type https:// before the

IP address.

3.Type the default user name (root) and password (abc123).

4.Go to “Simple or Advanced Configuration Using the Management Port” on page 25.

Simple or Advanced Configuration Using the Management Port

The IDP sensor management port provides two different, but compatible, configuration paths. The QuickStart option lets you configure the default IDP settings quickly, while the Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM) option lets you make more advanced changes to the sensor configuration.

After you log into the Web-based tools using the management port, you are presented with two options: QuickStart and ACM. If you want to do a simple configuration, click QuickStart and fill out the fields based on the information in Table 12 on page 26.

If you want to do an advance configuration, click ACM, and then click Start

Configuration Wizard. Fill out the fields in the wizard based on the information in

Table 13 on page 26.
