About response objects in the SiteProtector system

You can use response objects to configure responses for events that are generated by the Network IPS appliance in the SiteProtector™ system.

What are response objects

Response objects are containers that centralize data entry. If the data changes, modify the response object instead of each instance of the data within an event.

How response objects work

Responses in the Network IPS Local Management Interface work the same way that response objects work in the SiteProtector system. Use response objects with multiple events, such as security events, connection events, or user-defined events. Also, use them to change the response object properties.

Note: If you use the SiteProtector system to manage your appliance, use central responses to create event responses. For more information, see Configuring Central Responses in the SiteProtector system online help.
