Managing single installations of the NDS is easy through the Local Security Manager (LSM) Web-based GUI or through a CLI (command-line interface) using telnet or secure shell. You can manage multiple NDSs through the Security Management System (SMS), a hardened, Linux-based appliance accessed through a Java console. The NDS setup is based on segments or pairs of ports. I used three: one Fast Ethernet port for running attacks, and two fiber-based segments for traffic loading.
