Problem Solution
Network Monitoring
(either Microsoft or
3rd party) does not
work through an
Alacritech Accelerator.
Network Monitoring applications require
packet access to the network, and are
incompatible with the session layer
interface provided by the SLIC TCP/IP
Offload. In order to use Network
Monitoring with an Accelerator, you must
disable SLIC TCP/IP Offload on the
interface through which you wish to use
for Network Monitoring. To do this,
follow the instructions specified in
"Disabling SLIC TCP/IP Offload on
Select Interfaces" in Chapter 3.
Port aggregation or
failover software does
not work through an
Alacritech Accelerator.
Port Aggregation software needs to be
aware of the session layer interface
provided by the SLIC TCP/IP Offload.
The only trunking software compatible
with the Accelerator’s SLIC TCP/IP
Offload is the Alacritech Port
Aggregation software. To do this, follow
the instructions specified in Chapter 4.
Firewall software does
not work through an
Alacritech Accelerator.
Firewall applications require packet
access to the network, and are
incompatible with the session layer
interface provided by the SLIC TCP/IP
Offload. In order to use a firewall with an
Accelerator, you must disable SLIC
TCP/IP Offload on the interface through
which you wish to use for the firewall. To
do this, follow the instructions specified
in "Disabling SLIC TCP/IP Offload on
Select Interfaces" in Chapter 3.
