1. System Overview
The Fidelis Collector is the security analytics database for Fidelis Network. The Fidelis Collector
receives network metadata from Fidelis Network sensors (e.g., Direct, Internal, Mail and Web
Sensors) and stores it for ongoing analysis. A Fidelis Collector cluster of appliances consist of one or
two Collector Controller(s) and typically three or more Collector XA database nodes.

3. Collector: Network Port and Cabling Requirements
Each appliance must be connected to the various networks with appropriate cables and in some
cases, transceivers. The tables below describe the physical connection and cable type associated
with each port on the appliance.

4. Collector Networking Environment
The Collector appliances use multiple networks for service and inter-node communication. Networks
may be deployed as three independent physical switches — or — multiple independent VLANs on
the same switch fabric. The ADMIN, DB, and SYNC switches or VLANs must be different broadcast
domains. (iLO and ADMIN networks may intersect)
Use the tables below to identify the count and type of switch ports necessary to support the number
of appliances for your deployment.
Admin Network
The Admin Network connects the Collector Controller to the Fidelis Network sensors and K2
systems. Also connects the Collector XA nodes to the K2.

5. Appliance — Logical Network Configuration
Each physical connection must be assigned logical network information. Build a table of the logical
information for each appliance (sample below) that you can reference during configuration. You will
refer to this table multiple times during setup. Appendix A has a worksheet you may use.

6. Appliance Installation
Rack Installation
Install each appliance in an enclosure/location that has necessary power and cooling.
Power
Connect power cables to the power supplies in the back of the appliance.
Network Cabling
Using the connectors and cables described in sections 4 and 5, begin to connect the appliances to
the networks. Refer to the Collector network diagram for this section.
Cable the Collector Controller 10G appliance(s) to the switches:
1. Connect Admin (eth0) port to the “ADMIN” switch port
2. Connect DB (eth1) port to the “DB” switch port
3. Connect the iLO port to the ADMIN (or ILO) switch port (optional)
4. Repeat for each Collector Controller.
Cable the Collector XA4 Node appliances to the switches:
1. Connect Admin (eth0) port to the “ADMIN” switch port.
2. Connect DB (eth1) port to the “DB” switch port.
3. Connect SYNC (eth2) port to the “SYNC” switch port.
4. Connect the iLO port to the ADMIN (or ILO) switch port. (optional)
5. Repeat for each Collector XA.

b. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to select
the system type Collector Controller (or
Collector XA for cluster), and press Enter.
If you need help determining the system
type, see Appendix C.
The system displays a screen with the
message “Congratulations, your CentOS
installation is complete.”
c. Click Reboot.
4. Login in to the appliance using console or SSH
- Via SSH: Directly attach an Ethernet cable from a client system such as a laptop to the
Admin/eth0 port on the appliance. The default IP address is 192.168.42.11/24. Assign a static IP
from the same subnet to the network interface on the client system and connect to the appliance
using SSH.
5. Use these credentials at the login prompt:
- user: fidelis
- default password: fidelispass
6. From the command line, run: sudo /FSS/bin/setup
You will be prompted for the SU (fidelis) password
7. Within Setup, select Network Settings.
8. Configure the network parameters for the system and each active network interface.
a. Use the Network Configuration table you prepared earlier.
b. When complete, return to the top menu.
9. When complete, select [OK] to leave Setup.
10. From command line, reboot the system: sudo /fss/bin/shutdown.pl --user admin --reboot
Repeat steps for all appliances being added to the Collector cluster.
11. Use the PING command to verify connectivity between the XAs on their SYNC/eth2
interfaces.
8. Cluster Setup
On the Final Collector XA4 Appliance
If you have not completed setup for the XA4 appliances in section 7 above, or you are adding an
XA4 appliance to the Collector, follow these steps:
1. Login via SSH or KVM console.
2. From the command line, run: su - root -c /FSS/bin/setup
3. Navigate to Collector Settings.
4. At the XA4 count, enter the number of XA4 appliances, and select Ok.

- (optional) description — e.g. location, business unit, etc.
- Click Save.
4. Register the Collector to K2. Click Register and accept the End User License Agreement
(EULA). K2 will then communicate with the Collector at the specified IP address.
Register Collector Controller 10Gs with the Fidelis Sensors
1. Log into the K2 GUI from a web browser.
2. Select the appropriate Direct, Internal, Mail or Web sensor and click Config.
3. Click the Advanced page for the sensor and select a Collector at the drop down box.
