Description

This screen appears if Network Agent is selected for installation.

Select the network interface card (NIC) to be used by Network Agent and then click Next.

 

Note  This screen appears even if the machine does not have multiple NICs. In this case, only one NIC is listed.

This is the NIC that Network Agent will use to communicate with other Websense software components. All enabled NICs with an IP address are listed.

 

Note  For Network Agent to operate, this machine must be connected to a bi-directional span port (or mirror port) on a switch or hub that processes the network traffic to be monitored.

You may select multiple NICs. After installation, use TRITON - Web Security to configure how Network Agent will use each selected NIC (for more information, see the TRITON - Web Security Help).

On Linux, NICs without an IP address are also listed. Do not choose a NIC without an IP address.

After installation, you can configure Network Agent to use NICs without an IP address to monitor Internet requests. See Configuring a stealth mode NIC.
