PIX sensor
The PIX sensor discovers Cisco PIX devices that are used as IP firewall and network address translation appliances.
The PIX sensor gathers data about the CiscoPIX operating system running on PIX devices. In addition the sensor does the following:
- Discovers all real servers and virtual services running. Real servers are grouped into the real servers group.
- Discovers the virtualIp, realIp, virtualPort, and realPort, and derives virtual IPs using them. Virtual IPs are stored in the Vip table.
Sensor name that is used in the GUI and logs
- CiscoApplianceVersionSensor
