5.3 Load Balancing
Use Case:
There are a group of monitors to observe traffic from a high speed tapped link. The
amount of traffic coming from the link is greater than any of the individual monitors can monitor.
All of the traffic on the tapped link needs to be monitored by a set of Intrusion Detection Systems
(IDS).
1.
To set up the above configuration on a VERSAstream, the first step is to install the correct SFP
types to connect to the devices on either end.
2.
The next step is to configure the ports on the device to match the speed of the devices connected
to them (For example, choosing between Auto-Negotiation copper or manually set speed).
