HP Network Protector SDN Application Installation Guide

1 Installing the HP Network Protector SDN Application
The HP Network Protector SDN Application V1.0.2 runs on the HP VAN SDN (Virtual Area Network
Software-Defined Networking) Controller software and utilizes the HP Reputation Digital Vaccine
(RepDV) service to prevent clients from making connections to suspicious or malicious hosts.
1.1 Prerequisites
Ensure that your system meets the requirements described in the HP VAN SDN Controller and
Applications Support Matrix available in the SDN information library at http://www.hp.com/go/
sdn/infolib.
Before installing the application, install, configure, and verify the installation of the HP VAN SDN
Controller as described in the HP VAN SDN Controller Installation Guide available in the SDN
information library at http://www.hp.com/go/sdn/infolib. Ensure that the HP VAN SDN Controller
and its Cassandra database are running properly. For more information, see the HP VAN SDN
Controller Administrator Guide in the SDN information library at http://www.hp.com/go/sdn/
infolib.
IMPORTANT: The HP Network Protector SDN Application does not support controller teaming.
Ensure that the HP VAN SDN Controller is running in the standalone mode.
1.2 Installing prerequisite software
You must install the command-line tool cURL before installing the HP Network Protector SDN
Application. To install cURL:
Using the Ubuntu terminal, run the following command:

TIP: As a best practice, run the following command before running the cURL installation command:
# apt-get update
This command fetches the list of the latest packages from repositories.
