After you confirm that virtualization is enabled, you can set up the Protected Theater networking. Choose an option, depending on whether you want to control your OS network settings or have Mandiant control them:
- Control your OS network settings: In the
vsetnettool, you only select the management interface to use. You are responsible for manually configuring the host's networking settings outside ofvsetnet. - Let Mandiant control your OS network settings: You select the interface, and then
vsetnetprompts you for the network settings to use. This is done so the Actor software can make the required changes to the OS networking.
Follow these steps, regardless of the option you chose:
- Connect to the Protected Theater environment using SSH.
- Set up the network configuration by running the following command:
$ sudo vsetnet
- Choose your preferred option:
- We recommend using
ens192for the (management) interface. - Remember to use a static IP address.
- Only one IP address is necessary for Protected Theaters.
- Customer-controlled OS network settings:
- Enter
nowhen prompted for Verodin (Mandiant) control of network files, then press Enter. - Select the primary interface (
ens192) and press Enter. - Enter
nowhen prompted for the test data interface and then press Enter. After these steps, Verodin services restart and your network configuration is updated.

- Once the network settings have been established, confirm the IP settings have been changed by running the following command and noting the
inetvalue (in this case,MGMT_IP_ADDRESS, as used in the preceding examples):$ ifconfig ens192: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet MGMT_IP_ADDRESS netmask NETWORK_MASK_ADDRESS broadcast GATEWAY_ADDRESS
