Confirmation-Save VLAN Settings
The VLAN Settings are saved only when Yes is clicked on this message.
If you click No, the Confirmation-Save message will re-appear.
The VLANs created should not exceed the “MAX allowed VLAN to monitor” for the sensor mode. If the number of
VLANs specified by user exceeds this maximum count, the maximum VLANs (created &) monitored should be the
first maximum VLAN entered by user in sensor template.
To delete a VLAN, select the VLAN from the Additional VLANs to be Monitored area, and click Delete.
The changes in the sensor template will affect the working of the sensor operating in sensor mode in the following
way-
If the sensor template for a sensor has “Enable VLAN Monitoring” checkbox not selected, then all the existing
VLANs remain as is, there would be no change to existing VLANs.
If the sensor template for this sensor has “Enable VLAN Monitoring” checkbox selected, then
(a) All the VLANs which were previously configured on sensor which are also in sensor template’s VLAN list of
'VLANs to be monitored' would not have any effect on their configuration.
(b) If communication VLAN currently configured on the sensor is not in sensor template’s VLAN list of 'VLAN to be
monitored', then the communication VLAN’s configuration wouldn’t change.
(c) All the VLANs which were previously configured on sensor but are not present in sensor template’s VLAN list of
'VLANs to be monitored' would have their VLAN configuration deleted from that sensor (Except if the VLAN is
communication VLAN as clause 'b' states).
(d) All the VLANs which were previously NOT configured on sensor but are present in sensor template’s VLAN list
of 'VLANs to be monitored' would be created on the sensor and by default DHCP settings would apply for these
VLANs being created.
when the sensor is in offline mode, the communication VLAN is monitored.
Sensor Password Configuration
Sensor Password setting allows you to manage the password for user config on the sensor Command Line Interface
(CLI). By defining a password in the sensor template, you can manage the password for a group of sensors without
having to change it on each sensor separately. Type a new password or click Restore Default to change the current
password settings. If you choose Restore Default, then the password setting will be the same as that in the System
Template.
Note: If a sensor template contains a blank password, then the sensors, to which this template is assigned, retain
their existing password. Factory setting of the System Template contains a blank password.
