Device List

You are here:

Device List

In the devices list, you can see TPS detectors and TPS mitigators. TPS devices can be used as mitigators or standalone detectors. These devices are fully owned by A10 Defend Orchestrator App.

The Devices > Device List page displays a list of ACOS devices that are currently being managed by A10 Defend Orchestrator App.

You can either select the device from the search bar or select them by Name, IP address, or Model from the drop-down list.

Table 135 : Device List
Column heading	Description
Status	Indicates the status of the device: (Green, arrow up)—Indicates that both ping and http/https are running. (Orange, arrow up)—Indicates that the ping is running. (Red, arrow down)—Indicates that neither ping nor http/https are running.
Name	Displays the hostname of the device.
IP Address	Displays the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the managed device.
Model	Displays the model of the device. A10 Defend Orchestrator App supports the ability to manage the following types of A10 Networks devices: AX Series Thunder Series vThunder (formerly known as SoftAX)
SW Info	Displays the software version and build number on the TPS device. To view the latest version on the TPS device after upgrade, select Scan from Device under the Actions column.
Type	Displays the role of the device. A TPS device can be used as a mitigator or a TPS detector. If there is a TPS device that is yet to be configured as a detector, a warning icon is displayed. To configure the device, go to Devices > Device List page. Select the Save Config on Device under the Actions column.

The following options are available under the Actions column:

Description

Scan from Device

If the same object does not exist in A10 Defend Orchestrator App, the scan action will fetch protected zones, destination entries, templates, and class lists from the TPS mitigators. In the case of TPS, detectors can automatically discover the IP addresses and services and fetch the discovered entities.

Sync to Device

Sends the following configurations to the selected device when the device is out-of-sync:

Device global settings and management configuration such as sFlow, SNMP, Syslog information, and DDoS notification template.
Zones and dependent objects such as templates, GLIDs, and class lists.
BGP Routes, flowspecs, and route-maps associated with Zones.
Dst entries and dependent objects.
Geo Location Databases.

CAUTION:

It may take some time to synchronize Geo Location databases. If there is a class list on the device with Geo Location, you must remove the entries. Else, an error is displayed while synchronizing the device.

Click Submit.

Save Config on Device

Select a device and click Save Config on Device to save the current configuration on the device.

Refresh

Refreshes the current device list by retrieving the list of devices from database and querying each device for the latest operational statistics on memory usage, CPU usage, and up-time.

Device Backup

Allows you to take the backup of the device. Select the following options to complete the backup:

Schedule Type—Select either Immediate or Schedule, if you select Schedule, you will see more fields for Start Datetime and Schedule Options.
Save Config before Backup—Select either Yes or No.
Description—Add the appropriate description
Remote—Enable the check box if you want the remote backup.

Click Submit.

Configure Detection

Allows you to configure a device as a detector. To configure a device as a detector, see Setting Up a Detector.

Remove Detection

Allows you to remove the detector configuration.

Allows you to log in to the device.

A Save Configuration pop-up is displayed. Select Partition and click Submit.

Reboot

Allows you to save the configuration and reboots the device.

Update Credential

Allows you to update the device credentials.

Configure Mitigation

Allows you to configure a device as a mitigator. To configure a device as a mitigator, perform the following:

Global ZAPR Settings

Dedicated Control CPUs for pattern recognition can be assigned only if the device has more than 3 data CPUs.

Pattern Recognition—Select Enable to configure the global ZAPR setting.

CPU(s) Dedicated—Select the number of data CPUs for pattern recognition.
Reboot—Select yes or no from the drop-down menu.

NOTE:

The device reboots for the dedicated CPU control to come into effect.

Click Submit to save the ZAPR settings configuration.

BGP Flowspec Settings

If using the BGP Flowspec to redirect the traffic to TPS, enter the DDoS outside interface of the mitigator device.

DDoS Outside Interface IPv4—Enter the IPv4 address.
DDoS Outside Interface IPv6—Enter the IPv6 address.

Click Submit to save the BGP Flowspec settings configuration.

BGP Route

When a TPS device is added to A10 Defend Orchestrator App and if ‘BGP AS number’ is already configured, it is scanned from the mitigator device and then persisted in A10 Defend Orchestrator App database. If ‘BGP AS number’ is not configured on the TPS mitigator device, user can manually enter ‘BGP AS number’ here.

AS Number—Enter AS Number, which is associated with the device. This helps to push the route to the specified device.

Click Submit to save the BGP Route setting.

On the top right of the Device List window, click to perform any of the following:

Table 137 : Action buttons on the Device List page

Actions

Purpose

Save Config

Select one or more devices and click Save Config to save the current configuration for the device.

Refresh

Select the option to refresh the current device list by retrieving the list of devices from database and querying each device for the latest operational statistics on memory usage, CPU usage, and up-time.

Report

Enter the details to create an inventory report of the devices on A10 Defend Orchestrator App. For more information about creating a report, follow the instructions from step 2 to 7 in the Create a Report Schedule section.

Delete

Select one or more devices and click Delete. The selected devices are deleted.

NOTE:

The default delete function performs a soft delete, meaning that the deletion can be recovered by going to the Deleted Device List tab and clicking on Restore with that configuration selected. If the Do you also want to delete the backup configs of this device? check box is selected, a hard delete will be executed, meaning that the device cannot be restored from the Deleted Device List.

Add Devices

Displays the Add Device window. For more information about adding devices, follow the instructions specified in the Adding and Registering TPS Devices section.

Device CLI: Select or enter the show commands that you want to execute on TPS devices directly from A10 Defend Orchestrator App.
