Configuring Protocols

JSA Risk Manager users can define the protocol, port, and other details required to communicate to a set of network devices. You can assign devices to network groups, which allows you to group together protocol sets and address sets for your devices.

  1. On the Risk tab, click Configuration Monitor.

  2. In the navigation menu, click Protocols.

  3. Select Add from the toolbar.

  4. Type a Name for the protocol set.

  5. In the Address Sets section, click Add.

  6. In the Add Address field, type the IP address or CIDR range that you want to apply to the network group, then click OK.

    Tip:

    You can use IP4 or IP6 address or CIDR ranges.

  7. Select the check box for each protocol you want to enable.

    Tip:

    Select a protocol and click Increase Priority or Decrease Priority to adjust the order you want the protocols to be used.
