Overview Mount the Appliance and Configure Network Parameters This topic contains the following sections: 1. Overview 2. Introduction 3. Appliance Console via VGA Connection 4. Appliance Console via Network Connection 5. Set the IP Address 5.1. Set a Static IP 5.2. Set a Dynamic IP 6. Set the Hostname 7. Specify the Network Clock Source 8. Configure DNS Servers Overview This topic provides instructions for connecting a Security Analytics S4 appliance to your network and configuring initial management parameters on the appliance. Introduction Before you begin network configuration, mount or place the appliance securely in accordance with site requirements. Configuring network parameters for an RSA Security Analytics S4 appliance consists of setting the default IP address, the network clock source, and the hostname, then configuring your DNS servers. To set these parameters, you can connect to the appliance console using a keyboard and mouse or the Ethernet connection. In both cases, log on to the appliance as root. Once able to log on to the appliance, use the NwConsole program to modify the appliance management settings. Use the OS command line to configure DNS servers. Method Username Default Password ssh/cli root netwitness appliance admin netwitness Choose one of these methods for the initial connection: Appliance Console via VGA Connection: Keyboard (USB Port) and monitor (VGA Port). Appliance Console via Network Connection: Computer using an SSH client connected to the appliance via Ethernet cable to Mgmt Port (em1), which is configured as 192.168.1.1 by default. 9
Appliance Console via VGA Connection Appliance Console via VGA Connection To use the Appliance Console via VGA connection: 1. Connect a monitor or KVM adapter to the VGA Port on the back of the appliance. 2. Connect a keyboard or KVM adapter to one of the USB ports on the back of the appliance. 3. Connect a power cord to each of the two power supplies on the rear of the appliance. Connect the power cords to a power source. To provide a more robust setup, connect each power supply to a different circuit. Caution: 5V standby power is active whenever the system is plugged in. To remove power from the system, you must unplug both AC power cords from the power source 4. At the login prompt use the default credentials to gain access to the operating system (root/netwitness). 5. Continue to Set the IP Address section below. Appliance Console via Network Connection Caution: The default IP address of the appliance is set at the factory to 192.168.1.1. The use of 192.168.1.1 is fairly common and the IP address may already be in your system's SSH known_hosts file. The specific line for that IP address may need to be removed. To use the Appliance Console via network connection: 10
Set the IP Address 1. Connect an Ethernet cable between a computer and the Ethernet management port on the back of the appliance. 2. Connect the power cords to the power connectors on the appliance and a power receptacle. 3. The default IP address of the appliance is set at the factory to 192.168.1.1; therefore, set the IP address of the client system in the same subnet. For example, set your laptop to 192.168.1.15 with default gateway of 192.168.1.1 and then using a secure shell (SSH) client connect to the appliance. Note: Be aware that if you change network parameters while connected through SSH, your SSH session will be dropped and you will have to re-connect to the appliance at its new address. 4. Accept the SSH key. 5. At the login prompt use the default credentials to gain access to the operating system. 6. Continue to Set the IP Address section below. Set the IP Address Use one of the procedures below to set the management IP address on the appliance. Set a Static IP To set a static IP address: 1. At the root prompt: [root@nwappliance~]# NwConsole The NwConsole starts up and the following message is displayed: RSA Security Analytics Console 10.2 Copyright 2001-2012, RSA Security Inc. All Rights Reserved. 2. In the NwConsole, login localhost:50006 <adminusername> <password> for example: login localhost:50006 admin netwitness You are logged onto the appliance and the following message is displayed: Successfully logged in as session <session #> 3. At the localhost prompt: [localhost:50006] /> appliance setnet mode=static address=<desired IP address> netmask=<desired netmask> gateway=<desired network gateway> Example: To set the appliance em1 interface IP address to 10.1.2.35 for a class C network with gateway 10.1.2.1, execute the following command: appliance setnet mode=static address=10.1.2.35 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.1.2.1 The network services automatically restart on the appliance and the new settings are applied. 11
Set the Hostname 4. If the appliance is connected via network connection, you will have to reconnect to appliance using the new IP address to continue. If you moved the appliance to a new subnet, changes to client networking may also be required. 5. To logout and exit the NwConsole, type exit. Set a Dynamic IP To set a dynamic IP address: 1. At the root prompt: [root@nwappliance~]# NwConsole The NwConsole starts up and the following message is displayed: RSA Security Analytics Console 10.2 Copyright 2001-2012, RSA Security Inc. All Rights Reserved. 2. In the NwConsole, login localhost:50006 <username> <password> You are logged onto the appliance and the following message is displayed: Successfully logged in as session <session #> 3. At the localhost prompt: [localhost:50006] /> appliance setnet mode=dhcp 4. The network services automatically restart on the device and the new settings are applied. If the appliance is connected via network connection, you will have to reconnect to appliance using the new IP address to continue. If you moved the appliance to a new subnet, changes to client networking may also be required. Caution: If you choose DHCP, there may be no way to determine the new address. You must connect to the appliance console directly to determine the new address. Set the Hostname Creating the hostname of the system is a relatively simple task, but can benefit from consideration to limit common issues. If you are looking for some guidance to choosing a hostname, refer to the RFC 1178. In terms of Security Analytics the databases on the appliances are associated to the hostname. If the collection or aggregation has started (this is why it is not turned on by default) then the database is created and changing the hostname after that occurs effectively creates a second database. The hostname should contain only alphanumeric characters (no special characters such as #, _, @, -) to eliminate communication issues. 1. If still logged into NwConsole, then skip steps 2 and 3. 2. At the root prompt: [root@nwappliance~]# NwConsole The NwConsole starts up and the following message is displayed: RSA Security Analytics Console 10.2 Copyright 2001-2012, RSA Security Inc. All Rights Reserved. 3. In the NwConsole, login localhost:50006 <username> <password> You are logged onto the appliance and the following message is displayed: Successfully logged in as session <session #> 12
Specify the Network Clock Source 4. At the localhost prompt: [localhost:50006] /> appliance hostname name=<desired_name_for_appliance> For example: appliance hostname name=myserver 5. When you see an output of Success, type exit to log out and exit the NwConsole program. 6. Reboot the server using command: reboot Note: It is recommended that you reboot the system after changing the hostname. Specify the Network Clock Source Note: If the NTP server is not configured or reachable at this time, the network clock source configuration will fail, but can be done from the SA interface later. It is recommended that all systems in the Security Analytics suite be synchronized using a network time source so that all devices accurately depict the same time. If this is not done then the time on the devices can get out of sync causing queries for a specific time to not return the expected results. Note: The commands in these instructions are case sensitive. To set the network clock source: 1. If still logged into NwConsole, then skip steps 2 and 3. 2. At the root prompt: [root@nwappliance~]# NwConsole The NwConsole starts up and the following message is displayed: RSA Security Analytics Console 10.2 Copyright 2001-2012, RSA Security Inc. All Rights Reserved. 3. In the NwConsole, login localhost:50006 <username> <password> You are logged onto the appliance and the following message is displayed: Successfully logged in as session <session #> 4. At the localhost prompt: [localhost:50006] /> appliance setntp source=<ntp_server_hostname or IP_address> For example: appliance setntp source=0.pool.ntp.org Or, if you want to use the appliance clock as a clock source, type: appliance setntp source=local 5. When you see an output of Success from the command, type exit to log out and exit the NwConsole program. Note: If you specified an NTP clock source of local, the appliance clock serves as the clock source and the time is configured using Set Appliance Built-In Clock as described in Security Analytics online help. 13
Configure DNS Servers Configure DNS Servers To set a static IP address: 1. At the root prompt: [root@nwappliance~]# vi /etc/resolv.conf 2. Add the following lines to the file for each DNS server: nameserver <DNS_server_ip_address> search <domain_name> where <DNS_server_ip_address> is the IP address of your DNS server, and <domain_name> is the domain name for example: nameserver 192.168.0.1 search acmecorp.com 3. Save the changes and exit the vi editor. 14
Overview Finish Broker Setup in Security Analytics This topic contains the following sections: 1. Overview 2. Introduction Overview This topic provides instructions for finishing Broker configuration and starting aggregation in Security Analytics. Introduction The final steps for setting up the Broker are done using Security Analytics. These are: 1. Add the Broker to Security Analytics in Devices view. 2. Apply a device license (or Entitlement) to the Broker. 3. Add one or more Concentrators to the Broker as aggregate devices. 4. Configure and start aggregation. Several of these steps can be completed only when other parts of the Security Analytics network are in place: At least one Concentrator and one Decoder service must be installed, licensed, configured, and capturing data to generate Meta that the Broker can retrieve. The Security Analytics device licenses (or Entitlements) must be available for activating the devices. Log on to Security Analytics and follow instructions in the online help to finish setup of the Broker as part of the Security Analytics suite. 15
