DNCA Traffic Requirements

The following requirements are needed for mirroring network traffic and forwarding it to the DNCA for capture.

Network devices such as switch span ports, network taps, and load balancers are just a few of the network traffic capture points that can provide a copy of live network traffic to the Unica Discover Network Capture Application. Typically, the mirrored traffic consists of the customer website's web server traffic.

  • Mirrored network traffic is considered passive in nature, as the capture NIC(s) that are used by the DNCA do not interact with the live network traffic.
Note: The Unica Discover Network Capture Application supports the capture of 128-bit SSL traffic. Encryption methods by using a fewer numbers of encryption bits are not supported.
