System overview The TippingPoint system is a high-speed, comprehensive security system that includes the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Local Security Manager (LSM), Digital Vaccine, the Security Management System Appliance, and the Core Controller. Enterprise security schemes once consisted of a conglomeration of disparate, static devices from multiple vendors.
Security Management System (SMS) Describes the core components of the SMS. The SMS core components include: SMS Secure Server —hardware appliance for managing multiple devices • • SMS Home Page — web-based interface with links to current client software, documentation, and the Threat Management Center SMS Management Client —...
• Filter and software distribution — Monitors and maintains the distribution and import of filters, Digital Vaccine packages, and software for the TippingPoint Operating System and SMS client. The SMS client and Central Management Server can distribute these packages according to segment group settings.
The SMS dashboard provides at-a-glance monitors with launch capabilities into the targeted management applications that provide global command and control of TippingPoint. Included in the SMS dashboard display are the following items: • Entries for the top five filters triggered over the past hour in various categories •...
• Command Line Interface (CLI) — Command line interface for reviewing and modifying settings on the device. The CLI is accessible through Telnet and SSH (secure access). • LCD Panel — Several IPS TippingPoint devices provide an LCD panel to view, configure, and modify some device settings.
and monitors the health of the active system. If the health or communications check of the active system fails, the passive SMS will be activated. The ZPHA modular device can be attached to an IPS to route traffic in the event of power loss. Smart ZPHA modules, which are wired into the device, and bypass I/O modules, which are installed directly into NX-Platform devices, perform the same function.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
The vertical hole spacing on the rack rails must meet standard EIA-310-C requirements, which call for a one inch (2.54 cm) spacing. Ensure that you have a minimum of three inches clearance at the side of the ventilation slots. Note: Some devices have different rack and clearance requirements, or may have other mounting and installation options.
Reliable earthing Ensure that an external grounding connection is available for the product. Follow these guidelines: • For AC-powered products, use only the AC power cords that have been provided with the product. Using other cords could be hazardous to your safety. •...
Some TippingPoint devices allow you to hot swap cards or modules. The TippingPoint has a comprehensive detection system that senses automatically when you add or remove a card or module. It then runs diagnostic and discovery routines and acknowledges the presence or absence of the card. If you remove a card or module and replace it with the same type of card or module, the system resumes operation without any operator intervention.
