Any Guardium appliance that acts as an S-TAP or CAS host must be configured with the stap unit type. To verify this, and to change the unit type if necessary, follow the procedure outlined below. Note that an appliance configured as an Aggregator or Central Manager cannot manage S-TAPs.
Log on to the administrator portal of the Guardium appliance and check if the Administration Console menu contains a Local Taps section between the Central Management and Guardium Definitions sections.
If the menu does contain a Local Taps section, its unit type is set correctly to manage S-TAP and CAS agents. Skip the remainder of this procedure.
If the menu does not contain a Local Taps section, complete this procedure to enable the management of S-TAP and/or CAS agents.
Log out of the Guardium administrator portal.
From an SSH client window, log in to the Guardium appliance CLI, as the cli user.
Enter the following two commands:
store unit type stap
restart inspection-core
For more detailed information about these commands, see the CLI help book.
Enter the quit command to log out of the CLI.
Log on to the administrator portal of the Guardium appliance again, and verify that the Local Taps section now appears in the Administration Console menu.
