Creating an Anti-Intrusion Composite Application

Service Composer allows you to configure anti-intrusion mechanisms such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to protect your virtual computing and networking resources.

By configuring IDS and IPS virtual machines, you can chain services to secure other composite applications in the system.

  1. Create an anti-intrusion application.
    1. Open Service Composer.
    2. Click and drag VM on to the canvas.
    3. Double-click the unconfigured VM.

      The Create VM page appears.

    4. Select a VM type.

      VM Type

      Description

      IDS

      Monitors events on the network and analyzes them for possible security threats.

      IPS

      Performs security checks and prevents possible security threats to the network.
      Note:

      You can also install any third-party virtual anti-intrusion application while on the Create VM page.

    5. Select a VNF mode.

      Setting

      Description

      Router

      The VNF behaves as a virtual router and works in isolation from the physical network.

      Bridge

      The VNF behaves as a repeater and monitors incoming and outgoing traffic from the VM.
    6. Click Next.
    7. Under Category, select All Apps.
    8. Select the VM application.
    9. Click Apply.

      Service Composer installs the anti-intrusion application.

    10. Click Apply.

      Service Composer saves the anti-intrusion application.

  2. Configure the anti-intrusion settings on Virtualization Station.
    1. Open Virtualization Station.
    2. Under the VM list, identify the VM.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Configure the VM settings.

      For details, see the Virtualization Station chapter.

Service Composer saves the settings.
