Figure 1. Cluster Master or Stand-Alone System

Figure 2. Cluster Data Node

Intel SFP+ and SFP compatibility listThe QRadar Packet Capture appliance has only one capture port (DNA0). The appliance is not equippedwith an SFP transceiver, so you must install either an SFP+ 10G transceiver or an SFP 1G (Copper RJ45)transceiver into the capture port.

The following transceiver types are compatible with the PowerEdge R730 system:

• Dual rate 10GBASE-SR/1000BASE-SX, Intel Ethernet SFP+ SR Optical• Dual rate 10GBASE-LR/1000BASE-LX, Intel Ethernet SFP+ LR Optical• 1000BASE-T, Finisar Gigabit Ethernet• HP Gigabit SX

To purchase an SFP transceiver for your QRadar Packet Capture appliance, contact your IBM SalesRepresentative for specific part numbers, and then see the following vendor websites:

• Digi-Key web site (http://www.digikey.com)• Mouser Electronics web site (http://www.mouser.com)• CDW web site (http://www.cdw.com)• Newegg web site (https://www.newegg.com)• Amazon web site (http://amazon.com)

Transceiver throughput

When an SFP 1G transceiver is installed, it truncates the capture rate to 1 Gbps. To have multiple 1Gconnections, you can put a switch or an aggregator in front of where the 10G outbound port goes into theQRadar Packet Capture SFP+ 10G port. As a result, you can have multiple 1 Gb ports aggregated into theQRadar Packet Capture 10G SFP+ interface.

For information about installing the software on your own hardware, see the IBM QRadar Packet CaptureQuick Reference Guide.

Installing QRadar Packet Capture by using a DVDYou can use a DVD to install QRadar Packet Capture on your packet capture appliance.

Before you begin

Use this checklist to prepare for the installation:

• Download the stand-alone image from IBM Fix Central (www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral). You must beable to boot the system by using this image.

• If you are configuring a multi-system packet capture solution, you also need to download the data nodeimage. You must be able to boot the system by using this image.

• Ensure that the RAID configuration is setup and that the system was restarted.• Ensure that you do not have additional USB devices, or extra network / packet capture cables plugged

into the system while you are installing.

About this task

A multi-system clustered configuration consists of one master system, and 1 or 2 data nodes. Make surethat you boot from the appropriate image source, depending on the final system configuration that youwant. The cluster master device uses the same image as a stand-alone device.

Procedure

1. Plug in an external DVD drive into the system with the image DVD inserted.2. During the startup process, press F12 to enter the Select Boot Device screen.3. Select the option that refers to the DVD option.

For example, select Virtual Optical Drive.

This will start Clonezilla.4. When you see the screen indicating that you are about to restore the image to the hard drive /

partition, type Y when prompted with the message Are you sure you want to continue?.5. Type Y again when prompted to confirm that you want to restore the image.6. After the imaging process completes successfully, select Power off.7. Disconnect the DVD drive from the system.8. Power on the system and log in as the root user.

The default password is [email protected]. Type cd /root to change to the root directory.

10. Type ./Reset_Interfaces.sh to run the script and restart the system.11. After the system restarts, log in as the root user again.12. At the command prompt, type df -h and verify the following information:

Chapter 4. Install IBM QRadar Packet Capture 13


Chapter 5. Configure IBM QRadar Packet CaptureAfter you set up IBM QRadar Packet Capture, you must configure the system before you can capturepacket data.

Configuring the UTC time on your packet capture applianceUse these steps to configure the date and time on your IBM QRadar Packet Capture appliance.

About this taskBy default, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service uses public servers. If you want to use an internalserver, you must edit the /etc/ntp.conf file and change the lines that begin with "server" to yourserver.

Procedure

1. At the command line, use the date command to change the current Coordinated Universal Time time.

The format for the date command is:

date <month><day><hour><minutes><year>

For example, to set the date and time to February 25, 2016 at 3:07 PM, type date 022515072016.2. To set the hardware / BIOS clock, type /sbin/hwclock --systohc.

Configuring the network settings on your packet capture applianceBefore you can capture packets, you must configure the network settings on the IBM QRadar PacketCapture appliance.

Before you beginYou must have a display and keyboard connected.

You must provide an Ethernet connection to one of the onboard Ethernet ports (Eth2, Eth3, or Eth4).

Procedure

1. Check which network interfaces are available by using the following command:

ifconfig | grep eth

2. Note the hardware address /etc/sysconfig/nework-scripts/ifcfg-eth*.3. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/nework-scripts/ifcfg-eth* files to configure the standard Ethernet

interfaces that you use to communicate remotely with the system.


eth* represents ETH4, ETH5, ETH6, and so on. Ensure that you do not change the preconfigured 10Gstatic interfaces (1.1.1.X or 2.2.2.X) because they are used for master and data node connectivity.

To set a static IP address, use the following table and replace the values with information that isspecific to your deployment. By default, the system has active DHCP ports. If DHCP is used, no IPaddress configuration is required.

Table 14. IP address configuration

Setting Value

DEVICE ETH0

HWADDR 34:40:B5:A3:9F:F7

BOOTPROTO Static

GATEWAY 23.30.187.174

IPADDR 23.30.187.169

NETMASK 255.255.255.240

NM_CONTROLLED Yes

ONBOOT Yes

4. Provide fiber 10G connections by using the Interface 0 ports that are shown in the diagram above.

Important: Ensure that there is traffic over the connections. To capture traffic, you must use a Tap orSPAN (mirror) port. When you use a SPAN port on a switch, if the switch assigns a lower priority to theSPAN port, some packets might be dropped.

5. Restart the system, and log in by using the following credentials:

User: continuum

Password: [email protected]. After you are logged in, open a terminal session and type #ifconfig -a.

Record the IP address for the connected Ethernet port.

Note: For information about setting a static IP address, see the IBM QRadar Packet Capture UserGuide.

7. Test the connection by pinging the internal network, or by remote login via SSH on port 4477.

Important: To configure a clustered environment, you must first connect the master and data nodesystems together.

Changing the operating system account passwordAfter you set up the appliance, change the default operating system password for IBM QRadar PacketCapture.

You must be root user to change the operating system account.

The QRadar Packet Capture passwords are independent of the operating system passwords.

Procedure

1. Use SSH and port 4477 to log in as the root user.

The default password for the root user is [email protected]. To change the passwords for the root user account, use the passwd command.


Connecting the master and data nodes in a clustered packet captureenvironment

To configure a clustered environment, use a fiber optic cable to connect the QRadar Packet Capture DataNode appliances to the master packet capture device. If you have only a standalone packet capturesystem, this step is not required.

Before you beginEnsure that you have a successful network connection to the master packet capture device.

About this task

Use the following hardware diagram to help you configure a clustered packet capture environment byusing a Dell PowerEdge R730 packet capture device and QRadar Packet Capture Data Node.

Procedure

1. On the back of the packet capture device, connect the left cluster-interface port on the master to theleft cluster-interface port on the first data node.

2. If you are connecting a second data node, connect the right cluster-interface port on the master to theright cluster-interface port on the second data node.

3. Open a terminal session on the master system and check the connections with a ping test.

ping 1.1.1.2 ping 2.2.2.2

4. If you do not receive a response from the ping test, swap the cable connections on only the data nodeinterfaces.

• If only one data node is attached, only one ping must respond successfully.• After you switch the cables, if you do not get a response from the ping test, switch the cables on the

data node NIC to the second optical Ethernet NIC (if installed). Repeat the ping test.
