Attention: Please always keep in mind, that while in bridge mode (Allegro = in-line), a Link will be (shortly) interrupted when switching processing mode or/and rebooting the Allegro Network Multimeter. | Attention: Please always keep in mind, that while in bridge mode (Allegro = in-line), a Link will be (shortly) interrupted when switching processing mode or/and rebooting the Allegro Network Multimeter. | ||
=== Endpoint mode === | |||
If the endpoint mode is enabled for an interface, this interface will only process packets sent to the configured IP address (and potentially the port). If the system is running in bridge packet processing mode, links with an interface configured for endpoint mode will not forward traffic. The following types of traffic are supported: | |||
* Ethernet packets encapsulated in GRE or GRE+ERSPAN and targeted for the configured IP address.<br />The system will process the packets as if only the inner encapsulated packet is seen and any traffic captures will only contain the encapsulated packet. | |||
* UDP packets to specific port (packets will be analysed as is). | |||
An interface with endpoint mode enabled will respond to ARP requests and to ICMP echo requests so it is possible to use ping to verify that the interface is reachable under the configured IP address. | |||
It must be noted that if the system is running in bridge packet processing mode, any links with an interface configured for endpoint mode will not forward traffic. | |||
Note: In versions 3.0 or older, the mode was named "l3 tunnel mode". | |||

When this timeout is set to a value greater than 0, data will be removed from the system after a given number of minutes. This means that entities like IPs, which have been inactive for longer than the timeout, will be removed. History graph data for entities that are still active will be truncated to cover only the given timespan while the absolute values for the whole runtime will be retained. When a packet ring buffer is active, packets which are older than the timeout will be discarded. | When this timeout is set to a value greater than 0, data will be removed from the system after a given number of minutes.
