Selecting the Product Mode
After installing on the server you need to select the product mode as the first step.
Trisul Network Analytics is a general platform which can be reconfigured to very specific use cases.
This product-izing process consists of customizing counters, flows, menus, dashboards and so on. For ease of use you can simply select the configuration set up front after installation.
The default mode of Trisul is Packet Capture based Network Security Monitoring. We recommend you switch to the appropriate mode such as NetFlow Analyzer or IPDR or ISP using this step even though you can accomplish the same by manual configuration.
Four Product Modes
| Packet Mode | NetFlow | Compliance | ISP |
|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |
| Packet Packet Capture based Network Security Monitoring (the default) | NetFlow Analyzer Turn into a NetFlow Monitor | IPDR Compliance A ISP/Telco flow and NAT logging solution for regulatory compliance | ISP Analytics For ISPs looking for peering analytics, BGP Route Analytics, Prefixes and so on |
