Installation Roadmap
This section provides a high-level roadmap of an IDP sensor installation. With each
step is a reference to more information.
1. Install the NetScreen-Security Manager (NSM) server onto a dedicated host or
hosts. See the NetScreen-Security Manager Installation Guide for installation
instructions.
2. Install the NSM GUI on a Windows or Linux client machine. See the
NetScreen-Security Manager Installation Guide for installation instructions.
3. Decide on a place in your network for the sensor. Choose which mode you will
run. See Chapter 4, “Installing the Sensor,” on page 17.
4. Install the sensor on a rack. See Chapter 4, “Installing the Sensor,” on page 17.
5. Log into the sensor using the console port to run the EasyConfig script. This
script lets you specify a sensor mode, IP address, netmask, default gateway,
and date or time. See “Using the Console Serial Port to Configure the Sensor”
on page 22. You can use the default login name (root) and password (abc123)
for the sensor.
6. (Optional) If you want to change your default login and password, change port
speeds, or do more advanced configuration of the sensor, use a Web browser
to log into the sensor’s Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM). You can reach
it by typing
browser.
7. Start the NSM GUI. The default login ID is super. Use the password you
specified when you installed the NSM server.

8. Add the sensor as an object in NSM using the Add Device wizard. Select Device
Manager > Security Devices from the left navigational pane, and then click
the + button. See “Adding Your Sensor to NSM” on page 29. The Add Device
Wizard creates a database entry in NSM for the sensor, imports the sensor’s
configuration, and loads the Juniper Networks Recommended policy onto the
sensor. At that point, your sensor is actively protecting your network.
To improve the performance and accuracy of your protection, use the IDP Concepts & Examples Guide and the NetScreen-Security Manager Administrator’s Guide to tailor
your security policy to your network.
NOTE: You must update your attack objects to get the latest protection.
IDP Configuration Basics
This section provides an introduction to IDP configuration basics. An IDP
configuration consists of the following components:
IDP sensor placement—Decide where to position the sensor in the network.
IDP sensor placement mode—Decide to use passive or active mode when
deploying your IDP sensor.
NetScreen-Security Manager—Use NetScreen-Security Manager (NSM) to
administer the sensor.
IDP Sensor Placement
Juniper Networks IDP sensor is an ideal solution to be implemented inline between
gateway firewalls and DMZ or internal networks. IDP sensor placement is an
important part of the installation.
You should choose a location for your IDP sensor based on your existing network
hardware and the networks you want to protect. The examples provided in this
guide place the IDP sensor behind the firewall or router.
IDP Sensor Deployment Mode
IDP sensors can be installed individually or in high availability (HA) clusters of two
or more.
2 IDP Configuration Basics
For configurations without high availability, you can deploy the IDP sensor as a
passive sniffer or as an active gateway.
Passive Mode—The sniffer mode is passive. In sniffer mode, the IDP is not
directly involved with packet flow. While it can send resets, protection is not
guaranteed as attacks may have already happened before the reset can be
acted upon. In addition, attacker machines may ignore resets.
Page 17
Chapter 1: Planning an Installation
To use an IDP sensor as a passive intrusion detection system without
prevention capabilities, deploy the sensor in passive sniffer mode to monitor
and log network traffic. If the sensor is attached to a network switch, you must
configure the switch to mirror all traffic to that port. The IDP sensor defaults to
sniffer mode.
Active mode—The gateway (inline) mode is active. This mode takes full
advantage of IDP attack prevention capabilities and multimethod detection
mechanisms.
With inline modes, the sensor is directly involved in the packet flow. The
sensor can stop attacks by dropping malicious packets before they reach their
target.
Inline sensors are typically configured in transparent mode. For other inline
modes, see “Advanced Configuration” on page 43.
NOTE: For IDP 8200 Release 4.2, only transparent mode is available.
One step in setting up IDP on your network is to decide on a deployment mode.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate the possible deployment modes and their primary
advantages and disadvantages.

Traffic Ports (Forwarding Interfaces)
The IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 sensors have traffic ports (forwarding interfaces),
which are located on the front of each device. Sensors can have a combination of
copper and fiber ports.
Figure 7: Traffic Ports
Configurable NIC States
Copper port pairs on the IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 can be configured to take
specified actions when the sensor becomes unavailable. Using the Appliance
Configuration Manager (ACM), you can configure how the sensor responds when it
is shut down gracefully and how it responds when there is a failure.

packets even if Layer 2 bypass is disabled.
On failure, external bypass unit passes
traffic around the sensor.
Note: This is a global setting. If set for any
NIC, NSRP packets are allowed for all NICs.
While sensor is active, it does not pass
NSRP packets unless Layer 2 bypass is
enabled for transparent mode.
When sensor fails or when the sensor
software is shut down, NICs turn off even if
sensor still has power.
Normal State
When the IDP is active and NICs are in the normal state, NICs only pass Layer 2
traffic if in transparent mode and if Layer 2 bypass is enabled. NSRP packets are
not passed, so external bypass units do not behave correctly.
NIC Bypass State
Ethernet copper ports on the IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 sensors all have built-in
port bypass with crossover. Port bypass only works if the sensor is configured for
transparent mode. If a sensor fails or is shut down while in transparent mode, the
pair of copper ports will automatically fail into a crossover “connected” state, and
traffic will flow through them to and from the rest of the network without being
analyzed.
NIC bypass works using a watchdog timer. Each port pair has a timer. The sensor
sends each timer a reset signal every second. If a timer does not receive a reset
signal for three seconds (or the configured time period), the bypass is activated.
After the bypass is activated, the timer continues listening for a reset signal. When
IDP becomes active again, it sends a reset signal. When the timer receives the reset
signal, the bypass deactivates automatically and the sensor goes back to normal
operation.
When NICs are in NIC bypass state prior to shutdown or failure, they only pass
Layer 2 traffic if in transparent mode and if Layer 2 bypass is enabled. NSRP
packets are not passed.
Traffic Ports (Forwarding Interfaces) 11
Page 26
IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 Installation Guide
The fiber Ethernet ports are standard interfaces and do not incorporate the
integrated bypass feature. Automatic bypass is available for fiber ports through
third-party devices.
NIC Bypass and Cable Choices
When NIC bypass becomes active, it physically connects the pair of forwarding
interfaces to each other with a crossover cable.
If you are connecting devices that support auto-MDIX (medium dependent interface
crossover) to automatically switch to the proper configuration after a cable is
connected, and then you can use whatever cables you want, because auto-MDIX
negotiates the correct connection. However, if neither of the devices supports
auto-MDIX, and then you need to take special care to choose the right cables.
Suppose two devices, one connected to one sensor port and the other connected to
the other sensor port, are instead connected directly together.
If the two devices are connected with a straight-through cable, use one
straight-through cable and one crossover cable to connect the sensor to these
devices. When NIC bypass starts, the resulting effect is to create one, long
straight-through cable connecting the devices.
If the two devices are connected with a cross-over cable, use two
straight-through cables to connect the sensor to these two devices. When NIC
bypass starts, the resulting effect is to create one, long straight-through cable
connecting the devices.
External Bypass Unit State
This state is only available when the sensor is in transparent mode. It behaves the
same as normal state, except that NSRP packets are passed even if Layer 2 bypass
is not enabled.
NOTE: The External Bypass Unit setting is global. Selecting it for any interface
pair enables it for all interface pairs on the sensor. If enabled for one interface
pair, all interface pairs pass NSRP packets regardless of their individual settings.
The external bypass unit state appears only in the after system unavailability list
of the ACM. However, selecting it there enables it globally for all states.
NICs Off State
During sensor operation, this state behaves the same as normal state. NSRP
heartbeats are not passed unless the sensor is in transparent mode and Layer 2
bypass is enabled. The difference is this: when the sensor software becomes
unavailable because of graceful shutdown or unexpected failure, the NICs turn off
and no longer appear live to other devices on the network.
This setting is not global. It must be selected for each interface pair and in each
mode (after system unavailability and after graceful shutdown).
12 Traffic Ports (Forwarding Interfaces)
Page 27
Peer Port Modulation
Management Ports
Chapter 2: Hardware Overview
After peer port modulation (PPM) is enabled, the sensor deactivates all the
interfaces in that virtual router if the link goes down for any of the interfaces in a
virtual router. All devices connected to the virtual router will detect a port failure
and must be configured to take appropriate action.
You cannot enable NIC bypass and PPM on the same sensor. On the IDP 75, 250,
800, and 8200 sensors:
PPM works on both copper and fiber interfaces.
PPM works by turning off appropriate interfaces. Because of this, interface
speeds can be set to auto on the sensor and on attached switches.
These ports are provided on all IDP sensors.
Console Serial Port
The console serial port provides access, using an RJ-45 connector, to the sensor’s
command-line interface (CLI).
Management Port
The management port provides access to the ACM to the sensor through
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet. The ACM is accessed from the management port and
entering the correct URL in a browser window (
NOTE: Although both the console serial port and the management port use RJ-45
connectors, do not plug the network cable into the console serial port.

Installing the Sensor
This chapter describes how to install the IDP sensor in an equipment rack. This
chapter has the following sections:
General Installation Guidelines on page 17
Rack Mounting the IDP Sensor on page 18
Connecting Power on page 20
General Installation Guidelines
Observing the following precautions can prevent injuries, equipment failures, and
shutdowns.
WARNING: Never assume that the power supply is disconnected from a power
source. Always check first.
CAUTION: Room temperature might not be sufficient to keep equipment at
acceptable temperatures without an additional circulation system. Ensure that the
room in which you operate the IDP sensor has adequate air circulation.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,
ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety
grounds.
NOTE: Although you can place the IDP sensor on a desktop for operation, we do
not recommend deploying it in this manner.
CAUTION: To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, it is
extremely important to install the IDP sensor in a locked-room environment.
General Installation Guidelines 17
Page 32
IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 Installation Guide
Rack Mounting the IDP Sensor
The location of the sensor and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room
are crucial for proper system operation.
Use the following guidelines while configuring your equipment rack.
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should have
louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not
block the intake or exhaust ports. If you install a chassis on slides, check the
position of the chassis when it is seated all the way into the rack.
In an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan in the top, equipment higher in the
rack can draw heat from the lower devices. Always provide adequate
ventilation for equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Required Tools
Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air. The best placement of the baffles
depends on the airflow patterns in the rack.
The IDP 75 sensor occupies one rack unit (RU) in an equipment rack. One RU is
1.75 inches (44.45 mm) high. The IDP 250, IDP 800 (copper ports), and IDP 8200
sensors occupy two rack units in an equipment rack.
Rack mounting requires the following tools:
Flathead screwdriver
Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver
Rack-compatible screws
Rack-mounting brackets (included). Each device comes with the following
brackets:
Two side-mounted rails for mounting to the front and back of the rack
Four midmount brackets for midmounting 2 RU devices
Two midmount brackets for midmounting 1 RU devices
Mounting Using Device Rack Rails
18 Rack Mounting the IDP Sensor
To mount the sensor using the rails in a device rack:
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to attach the rails to each side of the chassis with
the bracket screws. Make sure the hinged brackets are at the back of the
device. Make sure the rails are positioned so they reach the back of the rack
when the device is mounted. See Figure 9.
Page 33
Chapter 3: Installing the Sensor
Figure 9: Rail with Hinged Rear Bracket
2. Rotate the hinges on both rails so that they allow the device to slide into the
rack.
3. Slide the chassis into a set of rails.
CAUTION: Be sure to leave at least two inches of clearance on the sides of each
chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports.
4. Secure the front brackets to the rack.
5. Rotate the rear brackets so they prevent the device from sliding forward.
6. Secure the rear brackets to the rack.
Mounting Using Midmount Brackets
To mount the sensor using the midmount brackets in a device rack:
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to attach one rack-mounting bracket to each side of
the chassis with the bracket screws. See Figure 10 and Figure 11.

Chapter 4
Configuring the IDP Sensor
This chapter describes how to connect to the IDP sensor and configure the device
for your network. After you have configured the sensor, you need to connect the
device in your network.
This chapter has the following sections:
Initial Configuration Options on page 21
Connecting to the Sensor on page 22
Connecting Forwarding Interfaces on page 28
Verifying Traffic Flow on page 28
Connecting the High Availability Port on page 28
Initial Configuration Options
When you first configure your sensor, you can choose a simple configuration that
sets options to the most commonly used settings, or you can do an advanced
configuration that allows you to choose each option individually.
Simple Configuration
A simple configuration can be done using the console serial port and the
EasyConfig utility, or through the management port and the QuickStart utility.
Simple Configuration Settings
A simple configuration lets you specify the following settings:
Sensor mode (inline transparent or passive sniffer)
IP address
Netmask
Default gateway
Time and time zone
Initial Configuration Options 21
Page 36
IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 Installation Guide
Simple Configuration Values
A simple configuration has the following settings and values:
Root password—abc123
Fully qualified domain name—Blank
High availability mode—Disabled
RADIUS support—Disabled
Network interfaces—Auto
Virtual routers—
Sniffer mode: One virtual router created (vr0)
Transparent mode: One virtual router created for each pair of interfaces
DNS—Disabled
NTP—Disabled
SSH on management port—Enabled
Run ACM process on sensor startup—Enabled
Advanced Configuration
If you wish to use a sensor mode other than inline transparent or passive sniffer, or
if you do not want to use the default options for the other settings, you will have to
use the Appliance Configuration Manager. See “ACM Advanced Configuration” on
page 26.
Connecting to the Sensor
Your sensor has two management interfaces: a console serial port and a
management Ethernet port. You can use either one to set the sensor IP address and
other basic configuration parameters.
The console serial port is used only for configuring and troubleshooting. After the
sensor is configured, you can disconnect the console port. The management port,
however, must be able to reach the NSM device server over the network. For this
reason, you must give the sensor an IP address that the NSM device server can
reach.
Using the Console Serial Port to Configure the Sensor
22 Connecting to the Sensor
Use this procedure if you want to set up your sensor in simple configuration, or if
you just want to set an IP address so the sensor is reachable over the network. After
the sensor’s management interface settings are in place, you can reconfigure the
sensor over the network.
Page 37
Chapter 4: Configuring the IDP Sensor
To configure your sensor using the console serial port, do the following:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 null modem serial cable to the
CONSOLE port located on the front of the sensor chassis.

Using the Management Port to Configure the Sensor
You can choose a simple or advanced configuration for the sensor using the
management port.
To connect the dedicated management port:
1. Attach your Ethernet cable to the dedicated management RJ-45 port (MGT)
located at the front of the chassis.
2. Connect the other end of your Ethernet cable to a switch or hub
(recommended) or to a standalone computer.
Verify that the link LED on the management port is green, indicating a proper
connection. (See Table 8 on page 15.)
Connecting Directly Using the Management Port
You can configure your sensor by directly connecting to the management port with
a crossover Ethernet cable. The default IP address of the sensor is 192.168.1.1 in
the Address or Location box.
24 Connecting to the Sensor
To connect directly to the management port:
1. Connect your computer directly to the sensor using an Ethernet cable.
Page 39
Chapter 4: Configuring the IDP Sensor
2. On a connected computer, open a Web browser. Type https://192.168.1.1.
NOTE: Because the ACM uses an SSL connection, you must type https:// before the
IP address.
3. Type the default user name (root) and password (abc123).
4. Skip to “Simple or Advanced Configuration Using the Management Port” on
page 25.
Connecting Remotely Using the Management Port
To connect to the management port remotely over the network, you must first have

Page 42
IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 Installation Guide
In proxy-ARP or router mode, if you are using multiple subnets in your protected
network, you must configure static routes on the IDP sensor to these subnets.
Without static routes, incoming traffic to those subnets can be lost. Alternatively,
you can create a static route from the IDP sensor to an internal gateway that
contains inbound routes to the protected subnets. (This does not apply to the IDP
8200 sensor.)
Connecting Forwarding Interfaces
Connect the ports on the sensor to either the protected network or the external
network. See “Planning an Installation” on page 1 for the configuration you chose
to implement. See “NIC Bypass and Cable Choices” on page 12 for information on
using NIC bypass with transparent mode.
Inline transparent mode makes use of pairs of interfaces. On most sensors, the
pairs are horizontal port pairs 0-1and 2-3 on each NIC. Traffic in inline transparent
mode only flows between paired interfaces. You cannot have traffic flow from port
0 to port 2, for example, in inline transparent mode.
Other modes, such as router and proxy-ARP mode, do support non-paired
interfaces.
Verifying Traffic Flow
To verify that traffic is flowing through your sensor:
1. Make sure your sensor is connected to a live traffic feed.
2. Log onto the sensor as root using the console serial port, or open an SSH
3. Type sctop and press Enter.
4. Type s to see status information.
5. Examine the following information on the screen:
After you have set up both machines in the HA cluster, connect their HA ports to
each other using a crossover cable.

Servicing the Device
This chapter describes the service and maintenance of various components in your
IDP sensors. It has the following sections:
Replacing a Power Supply (IDP 800, and 8200 Only) on page 39
Replacing a Hard Drive (IDP 800 and 8200 Only) on page 40
Replacing a Power Supply (IDP 800, and 8200 Only)
The power supplies on the IDP 75 and 250 sensors are in a fixed configuration so
you cannot replace them. The IDP 800 sensor has two hot swappable power
supplies while the IDP 8200 sensor has three.
If a device has two replaceable power supplies, you can hot swap one while the
device is running. Contact Juniper Networks if you want to purchase a spare power
supply.
Remove a Power Supply
To remove a power supply:
1. Go to the back of the device and locate the power supply you want to remove.
2. Locate the horizontal handle and the red lever in the upper left corner of the
power supply.
3. Lift the handle and push the lever to the right to unlatch the power supply.
4. With the lever pushed to the right, pull on the handle firmly to dislodge the
power supply from its seating.
5. Let go of the lever and slide out the power supply from the handle.
6. Let go of the handle and use both hands to slide the power supply the rest of
the way out.
Replacing a Power Supply (IDP 800, and 8200 Only) 39
Page 54
IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 Installation Guide
Install a Power Supply
You must have a power supply bay available before you can install a power supply.
To install a power supply:
1. Take the new power supply to the back of the device.
2. Hold the power supply with both hands with the red handle on the left side of
the power supply,
3. Align the power supply with the empty bay and slide the power supply into the
bay.
4. Push firmly until you see and hear the red lever snap into place.
If the other power supply is on and powering the sensor, the sensor emits a
high-pitched whine and the power supply LED turns on.
5. Connect a power cord to the new power supply.
6. Attach the other end of the power cord to the power source.
The power supply’s LED turns amber to indicate that the power supply is
receiving power. The LED turns green to indicate that it is receiving power and
is giving power to the IDP sensor (only occurs if sensor is on). The high-pitched
whine stops and the PS FAIL light on the front of the IDP sensor turns off.
Replacing a Hard Drive (IDP 800 and 8200 Only)
The IDP 800 and 8200 sensors come with two mirrored hard drives. Both drives
are hot-swappable on failure. If one fails, it may be replaced without interrupting
the function of the sensor. Contact Juniper Networks if you want to purchase a
spare hard drive.
CAUTION: The hard drive array is designed to provide fault tolerant redundancy in
the device. Do not remove a drive unless it has failed. The red failure LED will
turns on if a drive has failed.
CAUTION: When one drive is replaced, it takes some time for all the data from the
second drive to be mirrored over to the new drive. Do not remove either drive
during a rebuild.
Remove a Hard Drive
SCSI hard drives are accessible from the front panel of the sensor.
NOTE: We recommend replacing a hard drive only when the sensor is powered
on.
40 Replacing a Hard Drive (IDP 800 and 8200 Only)
Page 55
Chapter 7: Servicing the Device
To remove a hard drive:
1. On the front of the device identify the hard drive you want to remove.
2. Locate the blue release latch on the right side of the drive. (See Figure 20.)
Figure 20: Hard Drive Latch in Closed Position
Install a Hard Drive
3. Press and hold down the latch to release the handle, and then pull the handle
open.
4. Use one hand to hold the drive from underneath and the other hand to remove
the drive completely from the bay.
To install a hard drive:
1. Unclip the latch on the right side of the handle.
2. Open the handle to its fully extended position.
3. Begin to slide the drive into the bay.
4. Gently slide the drive the rest of the way into the bay and snap it into place.
5. Close the drive handle up until the latch clicks into place.
After a few moments, the warning noise ceases. The red failure LED on the new
drive begins to flash, indicating that the hard drive is rebuilding. Then the hard
drive activity LED on both drives will flash, indicating activity on both drives.
When the red failure LED stops flashing, the hard drive is rebuilt. Rebuilding the
hard drive could take 30 minutes or longer.
CAUTION: Leave both drives in place until the hard drive array is rebuilt.
Removing either drive while the hard drive array is rebuilding can damage the
system.
