NAT and Network Agent deployment

If you use Network Address Translation (NAT) on internal routers, Network Agent may be unable to identify the source IP address of client machines. When Network Agent detects traffic after it is passed through such a router, the agent sees the IP address of the router's external interface as the source of the request, rather than the IP address of the client machine.

To address this issue, either disable NAT, or install Network Agent on a machine located between the NAT router and the monitored clients.
