About this task
You can configure the network interface of your Network Capture Application with transparent load
balancing. For more information on the benefits of enabling transparent load balancing, see
DNCA Transparent Load Balancing Overview.
To configure the DNCA interface with transparent load
balancing:
Procedure
- Open the DNCA web console.
- Click the Interface tab.
- Select Enable Transparent Load Balancing.
- Enter the number of
Reassd
instances that
you want to run.Increasing the
Reassd
instances increases the number of DNCA instances that can process
TCP packets.
Note: You can enable up to N-1 packets
where N is the total number of processor cores
on your server. For example, if you have a total of 8 processor cores
on your server, you can run up to 7 instances.
- If you want to flush the SSL session information from
memcache
when the DNCA service restarts, select Restart Memcached server on
Capture restart. - If you want to disable TCP packet checksum, select Disable
Packet checksum validation.
Note: If your network interface
card has packet checksum enabled, then it is recommended to disable
the packet checksum.
- Multi-instance Capture should not
be selected unless you want to return to a non-transparent load balancing
mode.
- If you want to enter a filter rule, locate Filter
Rules and enter the information for your filter; then,
click Create Filter.
- Click Save Changes to save your
changes to the DNCA configuration.
