Generate Personalization Code

Perform the following steps to get a personalization code from the Network Passive Sensor application:

1. Log in to the Qualys UI and select Network Passive Sensor from the app picker.
2. Go to New Sensor > Physical Sensor on the Sensors tab (Similarly, you can go to the registration step directly from Home > Deploy Network Sensor > Physical Sensor > Deploy).
3. Provide information in the Sensor Details section and click Generate Code in the Personalization Code section.
   Copy the code and keep it handy. You need it later. Steps on how to personalize the sensor appear on the screen.
   
4. Click Next to go to the Network screen.

   Here, you can define the IP ranges you want to monitor within your network. The assets discovered for these IP addresses are individually inventoried and tracked for traffic analysis. You can use default IP ranges or customized IP ranges. You can use Default IP Ranges, IP range Tags, and Custom IP Ranges options to define the range of internal assets. NPS inventory assets for the IP ranges configured in the Internal Asset IP Range when the default option under Do you want to Inventory the assets? is set to Yes.

   Select No if you want to just monitor the traffic flows to/from the configured IP ranges but do not want to track them in asset inventory. You can always edit the sensor configuration later to add assets for the IP ranges to the inventory if you have selected No while registering virtual or physical sensors

   To view the detailed explanation of the Network Feature, refer to Appendix D - Extending the Network Feature section.

   To configure internal, external, and excluded types of assets, refer to the Configure Assets section.

   

5. Click Next to go to General Settings screen.

   Follow on-screen instructions for your module activation and enable Qualys to collect support logs for troubleshooting.

6. Click Save to complete the registration.
