Identify and copy the sensor ID

Before you can add a sensor to Vantage, you must first identify the sensor, and copy the ID for use in other the procedures that follow.

Note: The identifier (ID) of a sensor is different from the machine universally unique identifier (UUID). The machine UUID applies to the physical, or virtual, hardware running the system. The sensor ID applies to the sensor's software.
Note: In N2OS versions before 23.x, the sensor ID was called Appliance ID.
Note: If your N2OS version is earlier than 21.0.0, please update your N2OS installation. For more information, see the N2OS Release notes.

The sensor type and version will affect the steps that you need to do below.

  1. Determine the type of sensor that you want to connect:
    • If your sensor uses N2OS, open the web UI and navigate to Administration > Synchronization settings.
    • If your sensor is Nozomi Arc, open the local configuration UI and go to the Status page.
  2. Copy the applicable ID:
    • If your sensor uses N2OS version 23.x, select Copy next to the Sensor ID field. Save the information to use in later steps.
    • If your sensor uses N2OS version 22.x, select Copy next to the Appliance ID field. Save the information to use in later steps.
    • If your sensor is Nozomi Arc, copy the value in the Sensor ID field. Save the information to use in later steps.
  3. Add the sensor in Vantage.
