Settings

The Settings sub-menu allows for configuring several system parameters and for updating the system. The Allegro Network Multimeter is designed to work out-of-the-box in most installation scenarios. Therefore there are no mandatory options that must be configured before using the system.

The following setting sections are available:

Global settings

The Global settings section contains parameters for adjusting the behavior of the system.

The settings are split among multiple tabs, described as follows.

Generic Settings

Packet processing mode

This section allows for configuring the main packet processing mode:

• Bridge mode: In bridge mode, all received packets will be transmitted again on the corresponding mutual port so that the device can be placed in-line between any network component. The device will be transparent and will not modify the traffic in any way. The additional latency will be typically around or less than 1 millisecond.

• Sink mode: In sink mode, packets are only received and not forwarded. This operation mode allows for installation at a mirror port of a switch or when using a network tap to access the network traffic.

The packet processing mode can be changed during run-time.
