Installing and configuring the Sensor component on a separate server

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and preconfiguring the Sensor component on a separate server.

If you are installing Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform in a VMware ESXi hypervisor and are planning to have the program receive mirrored traffic from several virtual networks, you need to preconfigure the ESX server on which you want to install the program.

To preconfigure the ESX server, perform the following actions in the VMware ESXi hypervisor:

1. Start VMware vSphere Client.
2. In the list of ESX servers, select the ESX server that you want to preconfigure.
3. Right-click to open the menu.
4. Select the Configuration menu item.

   This opens the ESX server reconfiguration window.

5. In the Hardware section, select Networking.

   This opens the settings window.

6. On the Ports tab, select the VM Network section.

   This opens the VM Network Properties window.

7. On the General tab in the VLAN ID (Optional) list, select All.
8. Click Ok.

The program will be able to receive mirrored traffic from several virtual networks.

To begin installing the Sensor component:

1. Run the disk image containing the Central Node and Sensor components.

   The Setup Wizard starts.

2. Click Ok.
