Network Agent Interface (N)
Help | V-Series Appliance | Version 8.0.x
Network Agent is a software component used to provide security for protocols other than HTTP and HTTPS. It also provides bandwidth optimization data and enhanced logging detail.
Network Agent continually monitors overall network usage, including bytes transferred over the network. The agent sends usage summaries to other Websense software at predefined intervals.
Network Agent is typically configured to see both inbound and outbound traffic in your network. The agent distinguishes between:
*
*
You choose whether blocking information for non-HTTP protocols is routed through interface C or interface N.
Guidelines for configuring network interface N
 
*
Select Interface C only if you want to use interface C to send blocking information.
*
Select Interface N if network interface N is connected to a bidirectional span port, and you want to use N to transport blocking information.
Network Agent can instead be installed on a different server in the network. See the V-Series Appliance Getting Started Guide for requirements.
