The number of Sniffers and Archivers in your installation determines how you connect the appliances to each other, that is, with a direct cable or with a private switch. For more information, see Private network switch for the capture subnet.
For more information, see the following sections:
In an installation with one Sniffer and one Archiver located on different appliances, use a network cable to connect the appliances’ auxiliary ports. For more information, see Planning an installation of physical appliances.

Connect the Auxiliary Port (eth1) on the Sniffer’s appliance to the Auxiliary Port (eth1) on the Archiver’s appliance. The Sniffer can now send data to the Archiver. |
In an installation with more than one Sniffer and/or Archiver, you need to connect the appliances through the private switch. The relayer components automatically perform load balancing across all the Archivers. One Sniffer can send data to up to 32 Archivers. For more information, see Planning an installation of physical appliances.

Connect the Auxiliary Port (eth1) on each Sniffer’s appliance and each Archiver’s appliance to a private network switch. |
