What network ports and protocols are required for TippingPoint device operations?
This article discusses network ports and protocols required by TippingPoint devices for operation. While some of the ports are required, others will be required depending on your system configuration. You can make other ports available for optional tasks. • Required Ports • Active Response Ports • High Availability (HA) Ports • Optional Ports • SMS encryption protocols, algorithms, and cipher support
Where do I find the licensing information for my TPS device?
The Licensing page contains information about the status and availability of Trend Micro TippingPoint products and services for licensed devices.
What is a Zoneless Trigger?
A zoneless trigger occurs when a TPS device registers a filter trigger match on a segment even though the filter causing the trigger is not enabled in that particular segment.
What is Intrinsic Network High Availability (INHA)?
Intrinsic Network High Availability (INHA), also known as "Layer 2 Fallback" (L2FB), determines how the IPS device manages traffic on each segment in the event of a system failure. When the system fails, the device goes into Layer-2 Fallback mode and either permits or blocks all traffic on each segment, depending on the L2FB action setting for the segment. When the device is in L2FB mode, any traffic allowed through it will not be inspected; it simply passes through it.
Which TPS devices support X-Forwarded-For & True-Client-IP?
X-Forwarded-For (XFF): The XFF HTTP header field is a common method for identifying the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer.True-Client-IP is used to determine the IP address of a client connecting to a web server in cases where an HTTP proxy or a load balancer is used.HTTP Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs): URIs are formulated in a standard syntax that is used to support information exchange on the Internet.
What happens when the license expires on my TippingPoint device?
TippingPoint device license expiration.
What is Symmetric vs. Asymmetric mode?
Asymmetric Network: An asymmetric network has multiple routes for incoming and outgoing traffic. As such, traffic takes a different route when entering or exiting the network. Symmetric Network: A symmetric network has a single route for incoming and outgoing network traffic. As such, traffic takes the same route when entering the network.
What is a Traffic Management Filter?
Traffic Management filters react to traffic based on a limited set of parameters, including the source IP address, destination IP address, port, protocol, or other defined values.
What is Link Down Synchronization?
Link-Down Synchronization, also called Sympathetic HA, allows you to configure the device to force both ports down on a segment when the device detects a link state of down on one of the ports. When Link-Down Synchronization is enabled, the device monitors the link state for both ports on a segment.
What is the difference between a Packet Trace and a Packet Capture?
This article discusses the differences between a packet trace and a packet capture performed by Trend Micro TippingPoint devices.
