4 SteelCentral™ Enterprise NetProfiler Appliance Installation Guide
Preparing the Installation Data sources
Data sources
The Enterprise NetProfiler obtains traffic information from SteelCentral Flow Gateway, NetShark and AppResponse
appliances and Cascade Sensor appliances.
You can choose either one of the following approaches to set up data sources:

Set up the available data sources and point them to the IP address of the Enterprise NetProfiler Analysis Module
before you install the appliance.

Install the Enterprise NetProfiler up to the point of verification, then install or configure the data sources, and
then return to the Enterprise NetProfiler to complete the installation verification.
We recommend that you configure all the available data sources at the time you install the Enterprise NetProfiler.
Cable connections
You must prepare the required cables and connect them to the corresponding ports on the Enterprise NetProfiler.
Power
Each Enterprise NetProfiler module has two power supplies. Plug these into two different circuits, if they are available.
Console port
You perform the initial setup using the console port. Verify that you have a terminal server or a system running a
terminal emulation program and a cable to connect to the console port. A cable is supplied in the accessory kit shipped
with the chassis.
Primary ports
Modules in the Enterprise NetProfiler communicate with one another through a customer-supplied switch. Each
module is equipped with a 100/1000baseTX primary management port that must connect to a hub or switch on the
management network. The primary port is set by default for auto-negotiation.
Make sure that:

The management network has a switch port for each Enterprise NetProfiler module.

Straight-through cables are available at the rack locations to connect the Enterprise NetProfiler modules to the
switch. (One cable per chassis.)

The management network switch port is set to establish a connection at 1000 Mb/s and full duplex.

A terminal device (laptop, KVM, etc.) is available on the management network for logging in to the Enterprise
NetProfiler user interface.
The Enterprise NetProfiler uses the management network:

For communication between its modules.

To access network services.

To provide access to its user interface.
