Table 4-2	UNIX agent installation settings
Setting		Default	Description
-poll=<sec>		300	The polling interval, in seconds, that the
			agent uses to poll the management
			server for policy updates.
-svcport=<port>		2323	This installation setting supports the
			policy override tool for Solaris and
			Linux. You use the policy override tool to
			override prevention policy enforcement.
			You can change this value during silent
			install using the -svcport switch.
-disableIps		Enable	Indicates whether to enable intrusion
			prevention for Solaris or Linux agents.
			When enabled, the prevention features
			of Symantec Critical System Protection
			are enabled for the agent. The IPS
			drivers are loaded on the agent
			computer, and the agent accepts
			prevention policies from the
			management console.
			To disable intrusion prevention, include
			the -disableIps installation option in the
			command string.
			If you disable intrusion prevention and
			want to enable it in the future, you must
			run the sisipsconfig.exe tool in the
			\Agent\IPS\bin directory with the -i
			option, and restart the computer. The -i
			option toggles the intrusion prevention
			service on and off.
			Symantec strongly recommends that
			you enable intrusion prevention.

Use the -silent option and other options to perform a silent installation. The following command string shows an example of a silent installation:

./agent-aix.bin -silent -prefix=/opt/Symantec

-server=192.168.1.1 -cert=/var/tmp/agent-cert.ssl -agentport=443
