PREPARING FOR YOUR
I

NSTALLATION

This chapter provides information for when planning your STRM-LM deployment
including:

• Deploying STRM-LM

• Additional Hardware Requirements

• Additional Software Requirements

• Browser Support

• Preparing Your Network Hierarchy

• Identifying Network Settings

• Identifying Security Monitoring Devices

Your STRM-LM deployment may consist of STRM-LM installed on one or multiple
systems. You can also connect one or multiple STRM 1601system to your
STRM-LM system. For more information on appliances, see the Hardware
Installation Guide.

Deploying
STRM-LM

To ensure a successful STRM-LM deployment, adhere to the recommendations in
this document.

You can deploy STRM-LM using appliances or STRM-LM software installed on
your own hardware. A STRM-LM appliance includes STRM-LM software and a
CentOS-4 operating system. For further information on STRM appliances, see the
Hardware Installation Guide.

STRM-LM components that may exist in your deployment include:

Note: For more information on each STRM-LM component, see the STRM-LM
Administration Guide.

• Console - Provides the interface for STRM-LM. The Console is accessed from

a standard web browser. When you access the system, a prompt appears for a
user name and password, which is configured during the installation process.
You must also have Java installed. For information on software requirements,
see Additional Software Requirements.

STRM-LM Installation Guide

4 PREPARING FOR YOUR INSTALLATION

• Event Collector - The Event Collector gathers events from local and remote

device sources. The Event Collector normalizes events and sends the
information to the Event Processor. Before being sent to the Event Processor,
the Event Collector bundles identical events to conserve system usage.

• Event Processor - Processes events collected from one or more Event

Collector(s). Once received, the Event Processor correlates the information
from STRM-LM and distributes to the appropriate area, depending on the type
of event. Rules are applied to the events that allow the Event Processor to
process according to the configured rules.

Additional
Hardware
Requirements

Additional Software
Requirements

Before installing your STRM-LM systems, make sure you have access to the
additional hardware components:

• Monitor and keyboard or a serial console

• To make sure that your STRM-LM data is preserved during a power failure, we

highly recommend that all STRM-LM appliances or systems running STRM-LM
software storing data (such as, Consoles or Event Processors) be equipped
with a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).

Before installing STRM-LM, make sure you have Java Runtime Environment
installed on your system. You can download Java version 1.5.0_15 at the following
web site: http://java.com/

Browser Support You must have a browser installed on your client system to access the STRM-LM

interface. STRM-LM supports the following web browsers:

- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0/7.0

- Firefox 2.0

Preparing Your
Network Hierarchy

STRM-LM uses the network hierarchy to understand your network traffic and
provide you with the ability to view network activity for your entire deployment.
STRM-LM supports any network hierarchy that can be defined by a range of IP
addresses. You can create your network based on many different variables,
including geographical or business units. For example, your network hierarchy
may include corporate IP address ranges (internal or external), physical
departments or areas, mails servers, and web servers.

Once you define the components you wish to add to your network hierarchy and
install STRM-LM, you can then configure the network hierarchy using the
STRM-LM interface. For each component you wish to add to your network
hierarchy, use the following table to indicate each component in your network map.

STRM-LM Installation Guide

Identifying Network Settings 5

At a minimum, we recommend that you define objects in the network hierarchy for:

• Internal/external Demilitarized zone (DMZ)

• VPN

• All internal IP address space (for example, 0.0.0.0/8)

• Proxy servers

• Network Address Translation (NAT) IP address range

• Server Network subnets

• Voice over IP (VoIP) subnets

Identifying Network
Settings

Identifying Security
Monitoring Devices

For more information, see the STRM-LM Administration Guide - Setting Up
STRM-LM, Creating Your Network Hierarchy.

Before you install STRM-LM, you must have the following information for each
system you wish to install:

• Hostname

• IP address

• Network Mask address

• Subnet Mask

• Default Gateway

• Primary DNS Server

• Secondary DNS Server (Optional)

• Public IP address for networks using Network Address Translation (NAT)

• E-mail Server

• NTP Server (Console only) or Time server

STRM-LM can collect and correlate events received from external sources such as
security equipment (for example, firewalls, VPNs, or IDSs) and host or application
security logs, such as, window logs. Device Support Modules (DSMs) allows you
to integrate STRM-LM with this external data.
