Configuration
Features
Other Protocols
The PR-6606 operates only on UDP/IP packets. All other protocols are passed through the device
unchanged.
DHCP Protocol
The PR-6606 may be configured as a DHCP client.
Extensive Packet Selection Rules
User defined selection criteria is configured in "rules". Each rule allows packets to be selected based upon
source IP address, destination IP address, and destination IP port number. IP address and port entries may be
a single value such as one IP address (192.168.2.2 for example) or one port number (for example 3001) or a
range such as 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.230 or port 5001 through 8000. If no port number is entered, all
UDP packets meeting other selection criteria are duplicated. To insure the PR-6606 will replicate the
desired packets, the PR-6606 must be inserted in the network path between the original packet's source and
original packet's destination. Furthermore, to prevent MAC table corruption in any layer-2 switches, the
destination of a replicated packet must also reside on a different LAN port from the original source. To
summarize, the original source cannot be located on the same PR-6606 LAN port as the original destination
or replicated destination.
Upgradeable Firmware
Firmware upgrades may be installed using any web browser.
Security Features
The web interface used to configure the PR-6606 may be secured using HTTPS SSL. The secure web
server operates using the SSL protocol which allows for the use of x509 certificates to identify and
authenticate web servers and web browsers. You may generate a pair of x509 certificates within the
PR-6606 or import certificates from your external certificate authority.
On-board Tools
The PR-6606 contains diagnostic tools such as extensive logging, statistics, traceroute, ping, and a simple
packet sniffer to aid in network troubleshooting.
Installation Location
To insure the PR-6606 will replicate the desired packets, the PR-6606 must be inserted in the network path
between the original packet's source and original packet's destination. Furthermore, to prevent MAC table
corruption in any layer-2 switches, the destination of a replicated packet must also reside on a different
LAN port from the original source. To summarize, the original source cannot be located on the same
PR-6606 LAN port as the original destination or replicated destination.
