How to replicate network traffic
You can replicate network traffic by connecting network ports to tool ports with load balancing disabled in the
connecting rule. Doing so is useful when several different analysis tools need access to the same traffic.
Figure 2: Example of traffic replication
Replicating network traffic is straightforward using the Matrix: tool ports always replicate the traffic of network
ports they are connected to (unless load balancing is enabled). The traffic that replicates is the post-processed
traffic, such as after filtering, trimming, deduplication, and more, has occurred. Network traffic replication can
only occur if load balancing is disabled in the connecting rule.
Note:
To edit the active layout (the layout currently in use), perform edits directly from the Ports page. Edits to
the active layout take effect in real time.
To replicate network traffic:
1. Starting in the dashboard, click Ports.
The layout designer appears, where connections between network and tool ports can be created.
2. In the Layout list, select a layout.
3. Click the Actions list.
The Actions list is located near the top-right corner of the layout designer.
4. Click Edit.
