24 Chapter 3: Planning StoneGate IPS Installation Overview to the Installation Procedure This Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to install the StoneGate Management Center, a Sensor, and an Analyzer. Installation is straight-forward, consisting of the following steps: 1. Plan the installation of the StoneGate IPS Sensors, Analyzers, and the Management Center as explained in this chapter. 2. Configure the physical network environment as explained in this chapter. 3. Check the integrity of the StoneGate IPS installation files using the file checksums. See Checking the File Integrity, on page Install and configure the Management Center and the GUI client. See Installing the Management Center, on page Define the Sensor and Analyzer elements and other necessary elements in the Management Center. See Defining Sensors and Analyzers, on page Generate the initial configuration for the Sensors and Analyzers. See Saving the Initial Configuration, on page Install and configure the Sensors and Analyzers. See Installing Sensors and Analyzers, on page Test that the installed system operates as planned. The installation and configuration procedure is explained in detail in the following chapters. Important to Know Before Installation Before you start the installation, you need to plan carefully the site that you are going to install. Check that your operating system and hardware are supported. Check the surrounding network components and their configuration. Please, see the StoneGate IPS Release Notes for further information. When planning StoneGate IPS installation, please see the StoneGate IPS Administrator s Reference for detailed information on the operation of StoneGate IPS. 24

25 System Components and Supported Platforms System Components and Supported Platforms StoneGate IPS System Components A StoneGate IPS system consists of the Management Center, one or more Sensors, and an Analyzer. The StoneGate Management Center consists of the following components: the Management Server one or more Log Servers one or more graphical user interface (GUI) clients. The StoneGate IPS Sensors and Analyzers can be distributed as follows: a combined Sensor-Analyzer with these two components on a single machine. a single node Sensor. a Sensor cluster which consists of 2 to 16 machines with Sensors called cluster nodes or nodes for short. an Analyzer which is required for the Sensors. Supported Platforms For detailed information on the supported platforms, please see the StoneGate IPS Hardware Requirements available at The Sensors and Analyzers have an integrated, hardened Linux operating system and therefore they require no separate operating system installation. The integrated operating system simplifies upgrading the Sensors and Analyzers significantly, as they can be upgraded as a whole without having to separately upgrade the operating system and the StoneGate IPS software. Checking the File Integrity Before installing StoneGate IPS, check the installation file integrity using the MD5 or SHA-1 file checksums. The checksums can be found on the StoneGate IPS installation CD-ROM and from the product-specific download page at the Stonesoft Web site at For more information on MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms, please see RFC1321 and RFC3174, respectively. The RFCs can be obtained from Windows does not have MD5 or SHA-1 checksum tools by default, but there are several third-party programs available. StoneGate IPS Installation Guide 25

26 Chapter 3: Planning StoneGate IPS Installation To check MD5 or SHA-1 file checksum 1. Obtain the checksum from Stonesoft Web site at download/. 2. Change to the directory that contains the file(s) to be checked. 3. Generate a checksum of the file using the command md5sum filename or sha1sum filename, where filename is the name of the installation file. ILLUSTRATION 3.1 Checking the File Checksums $ md5sum sg_engine_ iso 869aecd7dc39321aa2e0cfaf7fafdb8f sg_engine_ iso 4. Compare the displayed output to the checksum on the Web site. Caution Do not use files that have invalid checksums. Checking the Surrounding Network Environment StoneGate IPS can be connected to a switch SPAN port, a network TAP, or a hub to capture network traffic. The considerations for these connection methods are explained below. For more specific information on compatibility of different network devices and StoneGate IPS, please refer to the Stonesoft Web site at support/. Switch SPAN Ports and Hubs A Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port is used for capturing network traffic to a defined port on a switch. This is also known as port mirroring. The capturing is done passively, so it does not interfere with the traffic. With a hub, no special configuration such as a SPAN port is needed as all the traffic going through the hub is directed to all ports. A StoneGate IPS capturing interface can be connected directly to a SPAN port of a switch. Then, all the traffic to be monitored need to be copied to this SPAN port. The SPAN mode capturing interface is also used when connecting the capture interface to a hub, although using a hub might not be suitable because of network performance reasons. 26

27 System Installation Network TAPs A Test Access Port (TAP) is a passive device located at the network wire between network devices. The capturing is done passively, so it does not interfere with the traffic. With a network TAP, the two directions of the network traffic is divided to separate wires. For this reason, StoneGate IPS needs two capturing interfaces for a network TAP; one capture interface for each direction of the traffic. The two related capturing interfaces are handled in StoneGate IPS as one logical interface that combines the traffic of these two interfaces for inspection. System Installation The StoneGate IPS system consists of the Management Center, the Sensors, and the Analyzers. The StoneGate Management Center (SMC) components can be installed separately on different machines or on the same machine, depending on your requirements. The Management Center can manage one or more StoneGate IPS Sensors and Analyzers. The same SMC can also be used for managing StoneGate Firewall/VPN solutions. The StoneGate IPS Analyzer can be either installed on a separate machine, or combined with a Sensor on a single machine as a combined Sensor-Analyzer. The combined Sensor- Analyzer is mainly aimed for small environments, whereas the separate Analyzer machine should be used where higher performance is required. The three basic types of StoneGate IPS Sensor installations are as follows: Single Sensor installation. A single Sensor has only one node. It does not support load balancing or high availability. Instructions on defining a single Sensor element is covered in Defining a Single Sensor, on page 68. Sensor cluster installation. A StoneGate IPS Sensor cluster supports up to 16 nodes functioning as a single virtual entity. Each node of the cluster uses the same security policy configuration defined through the GUI client. A cluster can be configured for dynamic load balancing or as a hot standby solution. Instructions on defining a Sensor cluster element is covered in Defining a Sensor Cluster, on page 62. Combined Sensor-Analyzer installation. A combined Sensor-Analyzer is similar to Single Sensor but it also has the Analyzer on the same physical machine. This installation does not support load balancing or high availability. Instructions on defining a combined Sensor-Analyzer element is covered in Defining a Combined Sensor- Analyzer, on page 72. For more information, please see the StoneGate IPS Administrator s Reference and the StoneGate IPS Administrator s Guide. StoneGate IPS Installation Guide 27

28 Chapter 3: Planning StoneGate IPS Installation Example Network Scenario Three example Sensor installations are described in this Guide: a combined Sensor-Analyzer a single Sensor a Sensor cluster installation. The two different Analyzer installations are illustrated with a combined Sensor-Analyzer an Analyzer on a separate machine. The network scenario for these installations is based on the example network in Figure 3.1. The scenario illustration can also be found in the front of the book. Please, see the StoneGate IPS Administrator s Reference for more information on deploying the StoneGate IPS components. FIGURE 3.1 Example Network Scenario 28

36 Chapter 4: Installing the Management Center Installing the Management Center Before you begin installing, you need to log in to the system with correct administrative rights to be able to modify certain files. In Windows, you need to log in with administrator rights. In Linux and Solaris you have to log in as root to install the software. Note If the operating system is an international (non-english) version of Windows, there might be some complications with running the Management Center on this platform. Checking File Integrity Before installing StoneGate IPS, check the installation package integrity using the MD5 or SHA-1 file checksums as explained in Checking the File Integrity, on page 25. Installing the Management Center Components The Management Center installation proceeds as follows: 1. Install the operating system with the latest patches. 2. Install the Management Server. (You can also install the Log Server and GUI client on the same machine if desired.) 3. Install the Log Server(s). 4. Install the GUI client(s). 5. (Optional) Install the Monitoring Server. After installing the SMC components, proceed to Starting the StoneGate Management Center, on page 49. Starting the Installation The steps described here are the same for the installation of Management Server, Log Server, and the GUI client. Note The Management Center installation requires at least 350 MB of available disk space in the system s temporary directory for extracting the installation files. To start the Management Center installation 1. Insert the StoneGate IPS installation CD-ROM and run the setup executable: 36

37 Installing the Management Center In Windows, run CD-ROM\Windows\setup.bat. In Linux and Solaris Bourne-compatible shells (e.g., sh, ksh): 1.1 If the CD-ROM is not automatically mounted, mount the CD-ROM in Linux with mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and in Solaris with mount /cdrom. 1.2 Change to the CD-ROM/Linux/ or CD-ROM/Solaris/ directory according to the platform used. 1.3 Run the command./setup.sh to start the installation. If you are using Linux or Solaris and want to use the graphical installation, make sure that X windowing system has been started before launching the StoneGate IPS setup. Alternatively, please see Non-graphical Installation, on page 52. In Linux and Solaris, the installation creates sgadmin user and group accounts. All the shell scripts are owned by sgadmin and can be executed either by root or sgadmin user. The shell scripts are executed with sgadmin privileges. After the installation, the sgadmin account is disabled. The sgadmin account is deleted at the uninstallation. 2. First, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed for StoneGate IPS.
