Connect and configure the Virtual Network Sensor to monitor network traffic in Network Security.

The Network Security app enables greater visibility of your environment through deployment of appliances which monitor traffic and collect data to help determine if there is an active attack on your network. Virtual Network Sensor is recommended for new users or users wishing to take advantage of a lightweight network sensor that is easier to set up and manage.
The following steps provide a high-level overview of how to deploy and connect Virtual Network Sensor to Trend Vision One.

Procedure

  1. Review the Virtual Network Sensor system requirements before starting and ensure you have adequate resources for the Virtual Network Sensor.
  2. Download the Virtual Network Sensor disk image or token from Network Inventory.
  3. Configure network settings and deploy a Virtual Network Sensor.
    Review the deployment guide for your desired platform and security environment.
    If you want to use a third-party network switch or device to configure traffic mirroring for your Virtual Network Sensor, see Traffic mirroring with network devices.
  4. Verify your Virtual Network Sensors appear in Network Inventory.
  5. If your Virtual Network Sensor does not appear in Network Inventory, check the following:
    • Network settings (NIC/vNIC setting and order)
    • Firewall settings
    • Proxy settings if using a proxy
    • Review the Virtual Network Sensor FAQ to verify and test the connection.
