Manually adding devices

Expand all | Collapse all

You can manually add a new device to the devices table. For an added device, you must specify its MAC address and/or IP address.

The MAC- and IP addresses of an added device must be unique within the address space containing these addresses. If additional address spaces were added to the application, you can add devices with identical addresses to different address spaces.

Only users with the Administrator role can manually add devices.

You can add devices in the following ways:

• Adding a device when working with the devices table
  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. On the Devices tab in the Assets section, open the details area by clicking the Add device button.
  3. On the Settings tab in the details area, specify the relevant values in the fields that identify the device information.
  4. On the Address information tab in the details area, specify the MAC- and/or IP addresses of the device.
  5. If additional address spaces were added to the application, specify the names of the address spaces for addresses.
  6. You can specify multiple IP addresses for the same network interface of the device. To generate a list of IP addresses, perform one of the following actions:
     • If you want to add an IP address, click the Add IP address button.
     • If you want to remove an IP address, click the icon located on the right of the field containing the IP address.
  7. If the device has multiple network interfaces, generate a list of network interfaces of the device and specify the corresponding MAC- and/or IP addresses for them.

     To do so, perform one of the following actions:

     • If you want to add a network interface, click the Add interface button located under the group of settings of the last network interface of the device.
     • If you want to delete a network interface, click the  icon displayed to the right of the device network interface name (if there are two or more network interfaces).
     • If you want to define a different name for a network interface, click the icon located on the right of the current name and enter the new name for the network interface in the field that opens.
  8. On the Settings and Address information tabs in the details area, enable or disable automatic updates for the relevant information about the device. To do this, use the and icons. On the Settings tab, the and icons are located on the left side of the fields. On the Address information tab, the and icons are located to the right of the network interface name.
  9. On the Custom fields tab in the details area, create a list of custom fields if necessary.
  10. Click Save.

      This button is unavailable if not all required information is specified in the device settings or if invalid values have been defined. The tab containing settings requiring corrected values is marked by the icon.

  The devices table will show the new device with the Authorized status.

• Adding a device when working with the topology map

  When working with the topology map, you can add a new device to the devices table.

  To add a new device to the device table when working with a topology map:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. On the Topology map tab in the Network map section, in the Add node drop-down list, select New device.

     A details area with the device settings appears in the right part of the window.

  3. On the Settings tab in the details area, specify the relevant values in the fields that identify the device information.
  4. On the Address information tab in the details area, specify the MAC- and/or IP addresses of the device.
  5. If additional address spaces were added to the application, specify the names of the address spaces for addresses.
  6. You can specify multiple IP addresses for the same network interface of the device. To generate a list of IP addresses, perform one of the following actions:
     • If you want to add an IP address, click the Add IP address button.
     • If you want to remove an IP address, click the icon located on the right of the field containing the IP address.
  7. If the device has multiple network interfaces, generate a list of network interfaces of the device and specify the corresponding MAC- and/or IP addresses for them.

     To do so, perform one of the following actions:

     • If you want to add a network interface, click the Add interface button located under the group of settings of the last network interface of the device.
     • If you want to delete a network interface, click the  icon displayed to the right of the device network interface name (if there are two or more network interfaces).
     • If you want to define a different name for a network interface, click the icon located on the right of the current name and enter the new name for the network interface in the field that opens.
  8. On the Settings and Address information tabs in the details area, enable or disable automatic updates for the relevant information about the device. To do this, use the and icons. On the Settings tab, the and icons are located on the left side of the fields. On the Address information tab, the and icons are located to the right of the network interface name.
  9. On the Custom fields tab in the details area, create a list of custom fields if necessary.
  10. Click Save.

      This button is unavailable if not all required information is specified in the device settings or if invalid values have been defined. The tab containing settings requiring corrected values is marked by the icon.

  The devices table will show the new device with the Authorized status.

• Adding a device based on the node of an unknown device on the network interactions map

  When working with the network interactions map, you can add a new device to the devices table using a node representing a device that is unknown to the application.

  To add a node of an unknown device to the devices table:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. On the Network interaction map tab in the Network map section, select the necessary node representing a device unknown to the application.

     The details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

  3. Click the Add to the devices table button.

     The details area will show the tabs for configuring the settings of the new device.

  4. Configure the settings of the new device without changing the MAC- and/or IP address that are specified for the node.

     For a description of how to configure these settings, please refer to the procedure for manually adding a device when working with the devices table.

  5. Click Save.

  The devices table will show the new device with the Authorized status. The node that previously represented a device that was unknown to the application will now represent a device on the network interactions map.

• Adding a device based on an unmanaged switch on the topology map

  When working with the topology map, you can add a new device to the devices table using a node representing an unmanaged switch.

  To add a node of an unmanaged switch to the devices table:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. On the Topology map tab in the Network map section, select the relevant node that represents the unmanaged switch.

     The details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

  3. Click the Add to the devices table button.

     The details area will show the tabs for configuring the settings of the new device.

  4. Specify the MAC address and/or IP address of the device and configure all other settings.

     For a description of how to configure these settings, please refer to the procedure for manually adding a device when working with the devices table.

  5. Click Save.

  The devices table will show the new device with the Authorized status. The node that previously represented the unmanaged switch will now represent a known device on the topology map.

After adding a device, you can add Process Control settings for the device.
