Some of mine are similarly named, particularly when I'm putting in a new sensor, and I can't tell which one is which without editing the first part of each policy temporarily. Using v2.1 ASC.

If so, it will be added in the next build. Cheers, Jeff  8/30/2007 2:53 AM    Ray 53 posts Re: Expand field of sensor "policy" dropdown  Yes, that's fine. I'm trying to m ake the policy name match the sensor name as displayed in Activeworx Security Center. So I use something like this: <PhysicalLocation>_<LogicalLocation>-<SensorName> Physical location is an abbrevation for where the sensor is, such as a city or an office building name. LogocalLocation is a description for where on the network it's located, such as a DMZ subnet, an internal subnet etc., so we know at a glance what visibility it has into the network at that location. SensorName is the sensor's computer name. Those are usually the shortest. :-) Thanks, Ray  Page 1 of 1   Previous   Next     Forum  IDS Policy Mana...  IDS Policy Mana...  Expand field of sensor "policy" dropdown
