Adding links for a selected node and configuring additional topology settings
This function is convenient if you want to add multiple links with other nodes for one node (for example, add all links for a switch). When using this method for adding links, you can also configure all topology settings for the device.
To add links for a node and configure additional topology settings:
- Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
- Select the node on the Topology map tab in the Network map section.
You can also select the device represented by the relevant node on the Network interactions map tab or on the Devices tab in the Assets section. However, on these tabs you will not be able to select an unmanaged switch node.
The details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.
- In the upper right corner of the details area, click the
icon and select Topology settings → Configure settings.The window for configuring the ports and connections of the selected node is displayed.
- In the Physical ports settings group, add information about links with other nodes. Information about each link must be provided in a separate line in which you can specify the following settings:
- Name of the physical port where the network cable is connected (optional setting)
- VLAN IDs (optional setting)
- Addresses of the network interface connected to the port (optional setting)
- Node that will serve as the second side of the connection (to select a node, you will see a window containing the table of available nodes and ports on nodes)
- If necessary, provide information on the virtual ports of the device in the Virtual ports settings group.
Information on virtual ports is not used for generating the topology map.
- Click Save.
