Traffic Insights System Requirements

This section describes certain prerequisites, plus hardware, software, and configuration requirements for Traffic Insights components, including:

• Enterprise Agent requirements for forwarder configuration.

• Cisco and non-Cisco device and setup requirements for traffic monitor configuration.

• Network flow record configuration requirements.

Component Relationships

The relationship between Traffic Insights network components also has certain attributes.

• Multiple traffic monitors can send network flow data to a single Enterprise Agent that’s been enabled as a forwarder. See Supported Enterprise Agents to see the max number of monitors per agent type.

• A single traffic monitor can be watching different interfaces, and send network flow data for multiple interfaces to the same forwarder.

• The same interface can be monitored for both IPv4 and IPv6.
