Configure a source SFTP server and add images to use with Virtual Analyzer image plans.

To access images for Virtual Analyzer image plans, you must first configure the Virtual Analyzer image source. Configure a source SFTP server and then add the file path for each image you want available to deploy.
Note
Note
  • Network Security supports images prepared by the Virtual Analyzer Image Preparation Tool exported in .TAR format. For information on how to prepare images, view the Virtual Analyzer Image Preparation Tool User's Guide.
  • Network Security does not download the prepared Virtual Analyzer images. Configuring the source SFTP server only provides links to the images for your Deep Discovery Inspector appliances to download directly from the source SFTP server.
