WHAT'S NEW

Use Director for Load Balancing

With Load Balancing, the traffic is split into multiple streams so the data can be processed by two or more tools working in parallel. Director Load Balancing takes the traffic from any Network Port or aggregated set of Network Ports and distributes it to two to ten Monitor Ports. The load can be balanced by IP address, port, protocol, VLAN, and MAC address, or any other packet header field. Flows are kept intact, ensuring that each tool receives complete "conversations" for analysis. Load Balancing can be used in conjunction with filtering, aggregation, and other Director functions, and multiple Load Balancers can be implemented in a single chassis. For all of your load balancing needs, look no further than the Director data monitoring switch.
