Monitoring Interfaces
AppResponse 11 monitors network traffic on its physical or virtual interfaces. Each interface is known as a monitoring interface. Use the Monitoring Interfaces tab on the Capture Jobs/Interfaces page to configure and manage each interface.
All detected interfaces and their status are listed under Monitoring Interfaces. A monitoring interface can be edited (see
Editing a Monitoring Interface):
◼ to change the interface description.
◼ to set the interface speed and duplex using auto-negotiation (default) or by specifying, when available, the interface speed and duplex.
A
virtual interface group (VIFG) is a logical grouping of one or more monitoring interfaces. AppResponse treats all physical or virtual interfaces in the same VIFG as one interface. To see what interfaces are used by a Virtual Interface Group, look at the Virtual Interface Groups tab. For more information, see
Virtual Interface Groups (VIFGs).
Capture jobs are configured using VIFGs as traffic sources, not monitoring interfaces.
