Enabling or disabling the local IOC feed on a specific appliance using the CLI

Prev Next

The local feed is enabled or disabled for a specific managed appliance only by enabling or disabling the third-party feed for the specific appliance.

Note

A Central Management System appliance cannot distribute indicators of compromise (IOCs) to managed SmartVision Edition sensors.

To enable the local feed for a specific managed Network Security appliance:
  1. Log in to the Central Management System CLI.

  2. Enable CLI configuration mode.

    cm-hostname > enable
    cm-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Enable local signature generation settings. The local feed does not work if this is not enabled. By default, local signature generation is already enabled.

    cm-hostname (config) # localsig enable
  4. Enable IOCs from a third-party feed for a managed Network Security appliance.

    cm-hostname (config) # custom content enable on lms <applianceID>

    where <applianceID> is the Network Security appliance record name. This third-party feed identifies the managed appliance for the local feed. The local feed does not work if this third-party feed is not enabled.

  5. Enable IOCs from the local feed.

    cm-hostname (config) # localsig localfeed enable
  6. Verify the status of IOC customizations.

    cm-hostname (config) # show custom content enable status
    
    CMS status
            CM-1 : enabled
    
    LMS status
            B9-vNX2500-1 : enabled 
  7. Verify the status of the local IOC feed.

    CMS1 > show localsig
    LocalSig Generator
          Enabled : YES
          Running : running
    Rule Versions : 1
     Active rules : 1337
        LocalFeed : Enabled
  8. Save your changes.

    cm-hostname (config) # write memory
To disable the local feed for a specific managed Network Security appliance:

  2. Enable CLI configuration mode.

    cm-hostname > enable
    cm-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Disable IOCs from a third-party feed for a specific managed Network Security appliance. When you disable IOCs from a third-party feed for a managed appliance, the IOCs from the local feed for the appliance are also disabled.

    cm-hostname (config) # no custom content enable on lms <applianceID>

    where applianceID is the Network Security appliance record name.

  4. Save your changes.

    cm-hostname (config) # write memory
  5. Log in to the CLI on the managed Network Security appliance.

  6. Enable CLI configuration mode.

    nx-hostname > enable
    nx-hostname # configure terminal
  7. Verify the status of third-party IOC feeds.

    nx-hostname (config) # show custom content enable status
