Property Definition

Properties are information such as IP and MAC addresses, hardware and firmware versions, serial number, etc. that qualify devices, components and flows. The sensor extracts flow properties from the packets captured. The Center then deduces components properties and then devices properties out of flow properties. Some properties are normalized for all devices and components and some properties are protocol or vendor specific.

Property Use

Properties provide details about devices, components and flows, and are crucial in Cisco Cyber Vision in generating tags. A combination of properties and tags are used to define behaviors (i.e., in the Monitor mode) inside the industrial network.

Property Location

View Properties from devices and components right side panels and technical sheets under the Basics tab.

Below is an example of a technical sheet with normalized properties on the left column, and protocol and vendor specific properties on the right column.


Note


Protocol and vendor-specific properties evolve as more protocols are supported by Cisco Cyber Vision.
