Adding an HDN Connector

To add a new HDN connector:

  1. Obtain HanDreamnet credentials
  2. Add the connector in Stellar Cyber
  3. Test the connector

Obtaining HanDreamnet Credentials

To configure this connector you must first obtain the following information:

  • The Device IP address of the switch

  • An API Token

Adding the Connector in Stellar Cyber

To add a HanDreamnet connector in Stellar Cyber:

  1. Log in to Stellar Cyber.

  2. Click System | Integration | Connectors. The Connector Overview appears.

  3. Click Create. The General tab of the Add Connector screen appears. The information on this tab cannot be changed after you add the connector.

    The asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

  4. Choose Security Switch from the Category drop-down.

  5. Choose HanDreamnet Security Switch from the Type drop-down.

  6. For this connector, the supported Function is Respond, which is enabled already.

  7. Enter a Name.

    This field does not accept multibyte characters.

  8. Choose a Tenant Name. The Interflow records created by this connector include this tenant name.

  9. Choose the device on which to run the connector.

  10. Click Next. The Configuration tab appears.

    The asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

  11. Enter the Device IP Address to access the switch.

  12. Enter the Token you obtained in the previous section.

  13. Click Next. The final confirmation tab appears.

  14. Click Submit.

The new connector is immediately active.

Testing the Connector

When you add (or edit) a connector, we recommend that you run a test to validate the connectivity parameters you entered. (The test validates only the authentication / connectivity; it does not validate data flow).

For connectors running on a sensor, Stellar Cyber recommends that you allow 30-60 seconds for new or modified configuration details to be propagated to the sensor before performing a test.

  1. Click System | Integrations | Connectors. The Connector Overview appears.

  2. Locate the connector that you added, or modified, or that you want to test.

  3. Click Test at the right side of that row. The test runs immediately.

    Note that you may run only one test at a time.

Stellar Cyber conducts a basic connectivity test for the connector and reports a success or failure result. A successful test indicates that you entered all of the connector information correctly.

To aid troubleshooting your connector, the dialog remains open until you explicitly close it by using the X button. If the test fails, you can select the  button from the same row to review and correct issues.

The connector status is updated every five (5) minutes. A successful test clears the connector status, but if issues persist, the status reverts to failed after a minute.

Repeat the test as needed.
