  • Page 52: Chapter 7 - Creating Port Maps

    About port maps Port maps determine how tapped traffic within the SmartNA-X system flows from source port to destination port. Maps that originate from the same source port are independent of one another, thus, traffic flowing along a map is treated entirely separately from other maps originating from the same source.
  • Page 53 NA™ 10G N NA-X) MART ETWORK CCESS MART REATING BOUT PORT MAPS An essential map arrangement when setting a live TAP is to link A and B ports so traffic is allowed to pass upstream and downstream across the TAP. The map for this arrangement is shown in Figure 7-1 below.

  • Page 63: Chapter 9 - Using Snmp

    Both agent and management information base (MIB) reside on the device that is being managed, in this case SmartNA-X. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information to or from an SNMP specific form. A manager can request a value from the agent or store a value into the agent. The agent can also respond to a manager’s requests to get or set data.

  • Page 65: About Vacm

    When connecting with SNMPv3, there is an alternative mechanism for identification and access control: VACM. In this case, you provide a certain user’s credentials instead of a community string. On the SmartNA-X device, users belong to groups, available settings are collected into views, and the access control list determines which groups can access which views.

If DHCP is enabled, your DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to SmartNA-X and you should check the DHCP server active client list for the correct IP to ping.
