• ”Threat Suppression Engine” on page 5

• ”Threat Management Center” on page 5

TippingPoint Architecture

The TippingPoint System uses a flexible architecture that consists of a Java-based SMS Client, SMS
Management Server, IPS device(s), and Local Clients including the Local Security Manager (LSM) and
Command Line Interface (CLI). The system may also include the Core Controller, a hardware appliance that
balances traffic loads for one or more IPSes. The following diagram provides an overview of the
architecture:

Figure 1-1 TippingPoint Architecture

TippingPoint 10/110/330 Hardware Installation and Safety Guide 1

Security Management System (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 — Java-based application for Windows or Linux workstations used to manage

your TippingPoint system

• Graphical User Interface (GUI)

• Dashboard

• Command Line Interface (CLI)

The SMS communicates with managed devices that are installed in your network.

The SMS architecture also includes the following components:

• Threat Management Center (TMC) — Centralized service center that monitors global threats and

distributes up-to-date attack filter packages, software updates, and product documentation.

• Digital Vaccine (DV) — Update service that includes up-to-date filter packages for protecting your

network

• Managed Devices — TippingPoint IPS or Core Controller devices that are installed in your network

SMS Server

The SMS Server is an enterprise-class management platform that provides centralized administration,
configuration, monitoring and reporting for well over a hundred TippingPoint IPS devices. The SMS
provides the following functionality:

• Enterprise-wide device status and behavior monitoring — Stores logs and device status

• IPS networking and configuration — Stores device information and configures devices

• Filter customization — Stores filter customizations in profiles as maintained by the SMS client.

• Filter and software distribution — Monitors and maintains the distribution and import of filters,

SMS Client

The TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) client provides services and functions to monitor,
manage, and configure the entire TippingPoint system. This client is a Java-based application installed and
accessed on a computer running the appropriate operating system. Each user receives a specific user level
with enhanced security measures to protect access and configuration of the system.

information, manages updates, and monitors filter, device, software, and network status.

according to the settings that are modified, imported, or distributed by clients. These settings affect the
flow and detection of traffic according to device, segment, or segment group.

These settings are distributed and imported to devices, which can be reviewed and modified by local
clients. If a device is managed by the SMS Server, the local clients cannot modify settings.

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 Central Management Server maintains a link to the Threat Management Center (TMC) for
downloading and installing package updates.

You can monitor the entire TippingPoint system through the SMS client on a computer with the following
requirements:

• One of the following operating systems:

• Windows 98, 2nd edition

• Windows NT, Service Pack 5 or later

• Windows 2000, Service Pack 3 or later

•Windows XP

•Windows 7

2 System Overview

• Apple

•Red Hat Linux

• One of the following browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or higher

•Firefox

• Safari

The SMS features a policy-based operational model for scalable and uniform enterprise management. It
enables behavior and performance analysis with trending reports, correlation and real-time graphs ­including reports on all, specific, and top attacks and their sources and destinations as well as all, specific,
and top peers and filters for misuse and abuse (peer-to-peer piracy) attacks. You can create, save, and
schedule reports using report templates. All reports are run against system and audit logs stored for each
device managed by the system. These logs detail triggered filters. You can modify, update, and control
distribution of these filters according to segment groups for refined intrusion prevention.

The SMS dashboard provides at-a-glance monitors, with launch capabilities into the targeted management
applications that provide global command and control of TippingPoint. It displays the entries for the top 5
filters triggered over the past hour in various categories, a graph of triggered filters over the past 24 hours,
the health status of devices, and update versions for software of the system. Through the Dashboard, you
gain an overview of the current performance of your system, including notifications of updates and
possible issues with devices monitored by the SMS.

Intrusion Prevention System Devices (IPS)

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) devices protect your network with the Threat Suppression Engine (TSE) by
scanning, detecting, and responding to network traffic according to the filters, action sets, and global
settings maintained on each device by a client.

Each device provides intrusion prevention for your network according to the number of network
connections and hardware capabilities. IPS devices also have built-in intrinsic high-availability features,
guaranteeing that the network keeps running in the event of system failure.

TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems are optimized to provide high resiliency, high availability security
for remote branch offices, small-to-medium and large enterprises and collocation facilities. Each
TippingPoint can protect network segments from both external and internal attacks.

Multiple TippingPoint devices can be deployed to extend this unsurpassed protection to hundreds of
enterprise zones. You can monitor and manage the devices by using the local client available on each
device, or by using the SMS client to monitor and manage well over a hundred devices. The TippingPoint
660N/1400N/2500N/5100N support IPv6, tunneling (including GRE and multi-layer tunnels), and
inspection bypass rules for trusted traffic.

IPS Local Clients

The TippingPoint System provides various points of interaction, management, and configuration of the
intrusion prevention system. The clients include graphical user interfaces (GUI) and command line
interfaces (CLI). These clients include the following:

• Local Security Manager (LSM) — Web-based GUI for managing one IPS device. The LSM provides

HTTP and HTTPS (secure management) access. This access requires access from a supported web
browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Netscape). Using the LSM, you have a graphical
display for reviewing, searching, and modifying settings. The GUI interface also provides reports to
monitor the device traffic, triggered filters, and packet statistics.

• 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.

Core Controller

The TippingPoint Core Controller is a hardware-based device that enables inspection of up to 20 Gbps of
traffic by sending the traffic to as many as 24 IPS device segments. The CoreController can control traffic
across its three 10GbE network segment pairs and across multiple TippingPoint E-Series IPS devices. IPS
devices are connected by 1GbE uplinks, and each packet that is received on a 10GbE CoreController
interface passes through a load balancer that then determines the IPS connection to use for transmitting the
packet.

The Core Controller provides:

• 10GbE bidirectional traffic inspection and policy enforcement

• High Availability with an optional Smart ZPHA module

• Central management through the SMS

NOTE: The Core Controller can be used with the 2400E and 5000E IPS devices, and with all N-Platform

and NX-Platform devices.

High Availability

TippingPoint devices are designed to guarantee that your network traffic always flows at wire speeds in the
event of internal device failure. The TippingPoint System provides Network High Availability settings for
Intrinsic Network HA (INHA) and Transparent Network HA (TNHA). These options enact manually or
automatically, according to settings you enter using the clients (LSM and SMS) or LCD panel for IPS
devices. Zero-Power High Availability (ZPHA) is available for the IPS as an external modular device, as
optional bypass I/O modules on NX-Platform devices, and for the Core Controller as an optional Smart
ZPHA module.

The IPS uses INHA for individual device deployment and TNHA for devices deployed in redundant
configurations in which one device takes over for another in the event of system failure. With INHA, a
failure puts the device into Layer-2 Fallback mode and permits or blocks traffic on each segment. In TNHA,
multiple IPS devices are synchronized so that when one device experiences a system failure, traffic is routed
to the other device with no interruption in intrusion prevention services.

SMS high availability provides continuous administration through an active-passive SMS system
configuration. A passive SMS is configured, synchronized with the active system, and waits in standby
mode and monitors the health of the active system. If the health or communications check 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.

Threat Suppression Engine

The Threat Suppression Engine (TSE) is a line-speed hardware engine that contains all the functions
needed for Intrusion Prevention, including IP defragmentation, TCP flow reassembly, statistical analysis,
traffic shaping, flow blocking, flow state tracking and application-layer parsing of over 170 network
protocols.

The TSE reconstructs and inspects flow payloads by parsing the traffic at the application layer. As each
new packet of the traffic flow arrives, the engine re-evaluates the traffic for malicious content. The instant
the engine detects malicious traffic, it blocks all current and all subsequent packets pertaining to the traffic
flow. The blocking of the traffic and packets ensures that the attack never reaches its destination.

The combination of high-speed network processors and custom chips provide the basis for IPS technology.
These highly specialized traffic classification engines enable the IPS to filter with extreme accuracy at
gigabit speeds and microsecond latencies. Unlike software-based systems whose performance is affected

4 System Overview

by the number of filters installed, the highly-scalable capacity of the hardware engine allows thousands of
filters to run simultaneously with no impact on performance or accuracy.

Threat Management Center

The Threat Management Center (TMC) is a centralized service center that monitors global threats and
distributes up-to-date attack filter packages, software updates, and product documentation.

The Threat Management Center (TMC) collects threat information and creates Digital Vaccine packages
that are made available on the TMC web site. The packages include filters that block malicious traffic and
attacks on your network. The filters provide the following protections:

• Application Protection — Defend against known and unknown exploits that target applications and

operating systems:

• Attack Protection filters — Detect and block traffic known to be malicious, suspicious, and to have
known security implications. These filters include the following: Vulnerabilities and Exploits filters.

• Security Policy filters — Detect and block traffic that may or may not be malicious. This traffic may
be different in its format or content from standard business practice, aimed at specific software or
operating systems, or contrary to your company’s security policies.

• Reconnaissance filters — Detect and block scans, sweeps, and probes for vulnerabilities and
information about your network. These filters include the following: Probes and Sweeps/Scans
filters.

• Informational filters — Detect and block classic Intrusion Detection System (IDS) infiltration

• Infrastructure Protection — Protect network bandwidth and network infrastructure elements such as

routers and firewalls from attack using a combination of filter types:

• Advanced DDoS filters — Available on the 2400E and 5000E. Detect and block denial of service
and flood requests, such as SYN Requests, that can overwhelm a system.

• Network Equipment Protection filters — Protect networked equipment from attacks

• Traffic Normalization filters — Detect and block abnormal or malicious traffic

• Performance Protection — Allow key applications to have prioritized bandwidth access setting that

ensure mission critical applications have adequate performance during times of high congestion:

• Misuse and Abuse filters — Protect the resources and usage of file sharing across networks and
personal computers. These filters protect peer-to-peer services.

• Traffic Management filters — Protect the network by shielding against IP addresses or permitting
only a set of IP addresses

ESD Requirements

Damage from Electromagnetic Static Discharge (ESD) can occur when electronic components are
improperly handled. Its results can be complete or intermittent system failures. Proper ESD protection is
required whenever you handle equipment. It is not necessary to open the product chassis to add or remove
any components. The following general grounding guidelines apply in the event that a power supply
module or ZPHA module must be replaced.

• Always use an ESD wrist strap when adding or removing components from the chassis.

• Avoid touching the circuit boards or connectors on all cards and modules.

• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components

from ESD voltages on the body. ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container

that is also grounded to the same point as the IPS. If you plan to return the component to the factory,
immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

Hot Swapping Guidelines

Hot swapping allows you to remove and replace cards without disconnecting power to the system. 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.

TippingPoint 10/110/330 Hardware Installation and Safety Guide 11

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.

• Do not force the card or module into its slot. This can damage the pins on the backplane if they are not

aligned properly with the card or module.

• Ensure that the card or module is straight and not at an angle when you install it in the slot, which can

damage the equipment. Use the guide rails to install the card or module correctly.

• Fully depress the ejector tabs to ensure that the card connector mates with the backplane correctly.

Firmly seat the card in the slot by locking the card with the black levers.

Unpack the Product

Each chassis is securely packaged in a shipping box.

CAUTION: ESD can damage the product if you do not take necessary precautions. Installation and

maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD
damage to the equipment. All cards and modules are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed
from the chassis.

Use caution when opening the product boxes.

To unpack the product, complete the following steps:

Connect cables

This section describes the steps for connecting cables to the TippingPoint 10.

• ”Console Connection” on page 20

• ”Management Port Connection” on page 20

• ”Segment/Port Connections” on page 20

Console Connection

The initial configuration for the TippingPoint 10 is performed using the command line interface (CLI) on a
serial terminal client.

1. Connect one end of the supplied serial cable to the Console port located on the front panel. The default

settings are:

• Baud rate: 115200

• Character size: 8 bits

• Parity: None

• Stop Bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal.

Management Port Connection

Use the 10/100/1000 management port to access the TippingPoint 10 CLI or LSM from another computer
on your network.

1. Connect one end of a Category 5e Ethernet cable to the MGMT port labeled located on the front

panel.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet port connected to your network.

Segment/Port Connections

The TippingPoint 10 has two 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet segments.

1. Attach the cable for incoming traffic to the A port on the segment.

2. Attach the cable for outgoing traffic to the B port on the segment.

3. Connect the cables to the appropriate ports on your network router.

Special Wiring Considerations

The TippingPoint 10 includes integrated Zero-Power High Availability (ZPHA) relays. The ZPHA relays
provide a network bypass for Ethernet traffic in the event that the IPS loses power.

When you install and configure a device with integrated ZPHA, you should first connect the network cables
with the device powered off and ensure that link is established and traffic passes successfully. If so,
installation can proceed normally.

If the device does not pass traffic while powered off, ensure that you have the appropriate cable for your
network. In many cases, replacing a straight-through cable with a cross-over cable will resolve link issues.
In addition, ensure that all IPS interfaces and connected switches have the same linespeed and duplex
settings.

installation and configuration procedures.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• ”Install the Chassis” on page 26

• ”Connect cables” on page 26

• ”Connect the Power” on page 27

• ”Setup Wizard” on page 28

Install the Chassis

The TippingPoint 110/330 comes with a pair of rack mount ears that enable you to attach the device to a
rack. Attach the ears to the side of the unit with the provided screws.

When you install the chassis in the rack, ensure that the vents on the side and rear of the unit are clear to
enable sufficient air circulation. The unit draws cool air in through the side vents by the rack mount ears.

Connect cables

This section describes the steps for connecting cables to the TippingPoint 110/330.

Console Connection

The initial configuration for the TippingPoint 110/330 is performed using the command line interface (CLI)
on a serial terminal client.

1. Connect one end of the supplied serial cable to the Console port located on the front panel. The default

settings are:

• Baud rate: 115200

• Character size: 8 bits

• Parity: None

• Stop Bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal.

Management Port Connection

Use the 10/100/1000 management port to access the TippingPoint 110/330 CLI or LSM from another
computer on your network.

1. Connect one end of a Category 5e Ethernet cable to the MGMT port located on the front panel.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet port connected to your network.

Segment/Port Connections

The TippingPoint 110/330 has four segments comprising two ports each.

1. Attach the Category 5e cable for incoming traffic to the A port on the segment.

2. Attach the Category 5e cable for outgoing traffic to the B port on the segment.

3. Connect the cables to the appropriate ports on your network router.

26 TippingPoint 110/330 Overview

Special Wiring Considerations

The TippingPoint110 and 330 include integrated Zero-Power High Availability (ZPHA) relays. The ZPHA
relays provide a network bypass for Ethernet traffic in the event that the IPS loses power.

When you install and configure a device with integrated ZPHA, you should first connect the network cables
with the device powered off and ensure that link is established and traffic passes successfully. If so,
installation can proceed normally.

If the device does not pass traffic while powered off, ensure that you have the appropriate cable for your
network. In many cases, replacing a straight-through cable with a cross-over cable will resolve link issues.
In addition, ensure that all IPS interfaces and connected switches have the same linespeed and duplex
settings.

Connect the Power

The TippingPoint 110/330 includes a power cable. Follow these steps to connect power to the device.

1. Plug one end of the provided power cable into the power input at the back of the device.

2. Plug the other end into an AC outlet, power strip, or UPS. The power should meet the following

requirements:

• Voltage: 110-240 VAC

•Current

•At 110 V: 6A

•At 240 V: 3A

•Frequency: 50-60 Hz

After you plug in the unit, push the power switch on the rear of the device into the On position. The Power
LED on the front panel will turn green to show that power is present.

Using the Power Switch

Use the following procedure to power down the TippingPoint 110/330 while power is connected:

1. In the CLI, issue the

When the command is successfully executed, the Status LED will turn off.

2. Push the power switch on the rear of the device into the Off position.

Push the switch into the On position to turn the device back on.

If AC power is lost while the power switch is in the On position, the device will start automatically when AC
power is re-connected.

CAUTION: Do not turn off the power using the switch without first shutting down the unit with a clean

shutdown.

Using the Reset Button

Use the Reset button to perform a graceful shutdown or to restart the TippingPoint 110/330 in the event that
the unit becomes unresponsive to LSM and CLI commands.

To perform a graceful shutdown with the Reset button, press and hold the Reset button for 2 seconds. After
2 seconds, the unit beeps and begins the shutdown sequence. The status LED turns yellow, the unit goes
into bypass mode, and the segment active LEDs are extinguished. When the graceful shutdown is
complete, the status LED on the front is extinguished. You may then disconnect the power or use the power
switch to complete the system shutdown.

SHUTDOWN command.

TippingPoint 10/110/330 Hardware Installation and Safety Guide 27

CAUTION: Be sure to release the power button as soon as the unit begins the shutdown sequence. If you

hold the button for 4 seconds, the unit will perform a hard reset and power off without performing a
graceful shutdown, which may result in loss of data.

Perform a hard reset only in case of emergency, when the standard shutdown procedure fails.

Setup Wizard

After you have powered on, the TippingPoint setup wizard displays on the COM port terminal. The wizard
prompts you to perform basic configuration tasks and periodically input information. You can run the
wizard through one of the following processes:

• Out-of-the-Box Experience (OBE) Terminal Setup Wizard — Runs when the setup wizard is activated for

the first time or later with the
such as a workstation or laptop.

• Additional Configuration — After running the setup wizard using the serial terminal, you can configure

the system using subsequent setup commands through the Command Line Interface (CLI).

See the TippingPoint Command Line Interface Reference for detailed instructions.

NOTE: When using the command line interface, configure the terminal emulation package to transmit a

Ctrl-H character when the Backspace key is pressed.

SETUP command. This wizard is run on a serial port connected system,

USB Update and Restore

The TippingPoint 110/330 devices support TOS updates and snapshot restorations from update and
snapshot files stored on a USB thumb drive. The device must be unconfigured or reset to pre-OBE factory
settings.

1. Ensure that the desired TOS update or snapshot file with a

directory of the USB drive.

2. With the device powered off, insert the USB drive.

3. Power on the device.

The device boots up and searches for the update or snapshot file and begins installation of the file.
