XC-240 Load Balancer Appliance Quick Start Guide Revision D McAfee® Network Security Platform This quick start guide explains how to quickly set up and activate your McAfee® Network Security Platform XC-240 Load Balancer. The SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports are used. The SFP+ modules are bundled along with your XC-240 device. All product documentation referenced in this quick start guide is found on the McAfee Service Portal.

This section also briefly explains how to install the Manager and then add the XC-240 to the Manager. 1 1 2 Position the XC-240 a Install the XC-240 in a 19-inch rack using the rack mount ears. b Install SFP+ modules in the XC-240. Cable the Management and Console ports a Plug a Category 5e Ethernet cable in the Mgmt (Management) port of XC-240. b Plug the other end of the cable into a network switch. c Plug the RS232 RJ45 cable supplied in the XC-240 box into the Console port. d Connect the other end of the Console port cable directly to a COM port of the computer or terminal server you will be using to configure the XC-240 (for example, a computer running correctly configured Windows Hyperterminal software). RJ45 to DB9 adapter has been provided. You must connect directly to the console for initial configuration. The required settings for Hyperterminal are: e 2 • Baud rate: 115200 • Stop Bits: 1 • Number of Bits: 8 • Control Flow: None • Parity: None Plug the power cable into the power inlet and plug the other end into a power source. The XC-240 ships with standard U.S. power and international cables. 3 Cable the Monitoring ports This procedure describes how to cable an XC-240 to run in In-line mode. a Plug the cable appropriate for use with the SFP+ module into one of the Monitoring ports labeled xA (for example, 1A). b Plug another cable into the peer of the port used in 3a. This port will be labeled xB (for example, 1B). c Connect the other end of each cable to the network devices that you want to monitor. (For example, if you plan to monitor traffic between a switch and a router, connect the cable connected to 1A to the router and the one connected to 1B to the switch.) For instructions on how to cable the XC-240 to run in other operating modes, see the McAfee Network Security Platform XC Cluster Administration Guide. 4 Cable the Sensor ports This procedure describes how to connect the M-8000XC Sensor to the XC-240 Load Balancer. a Plug the fiber cable appropriate for use with the SFP+ module into the Sensor port of the XC-240. b Connect the other end of the fiber cable used in a into a 10G monitoring port, for example port 1A of the M-8000XC Sensor. 3 5 Configuring the XC-240 Configure the XC-240 following the steps given below: a Log on to the XC-240 using the terminal connected to the Console port. b At the prompt, log on using the default XC-240 username (admin) and password (admin123). c [Optional, but recommended]. Change the XC-240 password. At the prompt, type: user mod name=admin pw= priv=2. where is the new password. d Set the XC-240 IP address. To configure an IPv4 address, type sysip set ipaddr= mask= gw=, where is the IPv4 address for XC-240, is the netmask, and is the IP address of the gateway. To configure an IPv6 address, type sysip inet6_set ipaddr= prefixlen=, where is the IPv6 address for XC-240. Type sysip commit to activate the new IP address. e By default, the XC Cluster is configured with High Availability support in the 60G N+1 mode. Port S8 is reserved for the peer XC-240 device. At the prompt, type: lbg show. View the number of Sensor ports configured to load balance and the status of these ports, The ports are down if they are displayed in braces, example, (s1),(s2),(s3)…(s6). The ports are up if they are not displayed in braces, example, s1,s2,s3…s6. 4 f Configure the mode of operation for the XC-240. At the prompt, type: lbg set ports. Example for configuration in HA mode without Sensor redundancy (70G N):lbg set ports=s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7 group =1 OR lbg set ports=s1-s7 group=1. Example for configuration in HA mode with Sensor redundancy (60G N+1):lbg set ports=s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6 spares=s7 group =1 OR lbg set ports=s1-s6 spare=s7 group=1. While using the lbg command, ensure that the Sensor ports being configured match with the Sensors connected to the XC-240 in Step 4. To change the mode of operation, see the McAfee Network Security Platform XC Cluster Administration Guide. g Enable SNMP. a The SNMP agent is disabled by default. To enable and configure the SNMP agent: At the prompt, type snmp set admin=. b To add the Manager IP to the XC-240, at the prompt type snmp trap_add name= authProto= authPass= privProto= privPass= access= ip= port=<4169> admin= Example: snmp trap_add name=nsmuser type=v3 ip=172.25.70.140 port=4169 authProto=SHA authPass=admin123 privProto=AES privPass=test123 admin=enable access=rw. h 6 c To save and load the configurations, type snmp commit . d To view the SNMP user configurations, at the prompt type snmp user_show. To exit the session, type exit. Install the Manager software For detailed instructions, refer to McAfee Network Security Platform Installation Guide. You must have administrator privileges on the target Windows server to install the Manager software. A MySQL database is included with the Manager and is installed (embedded) automatically on your target Windows server during this process. The following steps briefly explain the Manager installation: a Prepare the system according to the requirements outlined in McAfee Network Security Platform Installation Guide and the McAfee Network Security Platform Release Notes. b Close all open applications. c Go to the McAfee Update Server and log on, using the grant number and password. 5 7 d Go to the Manager Software Updates folder and select the latest Manager software version available. e Download the .zip file to the target Windows server and extract the setup file. f Double-click Manager__setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts. Start the Manager Click Start | Programs | McAfee | Network Security Manager | Network Security Manager. You do not require a license file for using Manager/Central Manager version 5.1.17.2 or above, and 6.0.7.x or above. 8 Add the XC-240 to the Manager The Manager displays the Login page. 6 a Log on to the Manager. The default Login ID is admin and the default Password is admin123. b Click Configure. c To add an XC-240 in the Manager, click Device List | Devices and then click New. d Update information in the appropriate fields and click Save. Repeat steps 8c-8d to add an M-8000XC Sensor. To add an M-8000XC Sensor, see the M-8000XC Sensor Quick Start Guide. Remember the values entered for the IP Address, SNMPv3 User, Authentication Password and Privacy Password should match the ones configured in Step 8d. 9 Add an XC Cluster To add an XC Cluster: To create an XC Cluster at least one M-8000XC Sensor and one XC-240 Load Balancer should have been added. a Click Device List | XC Clusters and then click New. b Move the added XC-240 Load Balancer and M-8000XC Sensor into the XC Cluster. Update information in the appropriate fields and click Save. For more information on adding the XC-240 Load Balancer, M-8000XC Sensors and XC Clusters, see the McAfee Network Security Platform XC Cluster Administration Guide. 7 10 Verify successful installation After you have connected XC-240, verify that it is functioning correctly by checking the link LEDs for each of the connected ports. The link LEDs should be illuminated to indicate that the links are up. At the prompt, type: port show or lbg show, to verify all the ports are up and stats show to verify traffic is present. 11 You're up and running! Your XC-240 Load Balancer is actively monitoring connected segments and load balancing the traffic to the configured Sensors. a Read the McAfee Network Security Platform XC Cluster Administration Guide for an overview of the Load Balancing mechanism and detailed usage instructions. Click the Detailed Help buttons in the upper-right corner of each window in the Manager. b Read the McAfee Network Security Platform M-8000XC Product Guide and McAfee Network Security Platform M-8000XC Sensor Quick Start Guide for detailed usage instructions on the Sensor functions in an XC Cluster. c Having problems?
