Multiplexer
Deployment and Installation Center | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.7.x
 
Applies to:                                         
*
Web Filter, Web Security, and Web Security Gateway (Anywhere), v7.7.x
Multiplexer makes it possible for Web Security solutions to pass log data (the same information processed by Log Server) to third-party Security and Information and Event Management (SIEM) products.
Special considerations
*
Install one Muliplexer per Policy Server.
*
When Policy Server resides on a Websense Appliance, Multiplexer must also be enabled on the appliance.
*
Multiplexer can be enabled via the Command-Line Utility on full policy source or user identification and filtering appliances.
*
Attempting to connect an off-appliance Multiplexer instance to an on-appliance Policy Server will result in errors.
*
In non-appliance (software-based) deployments, Multiplexer is not required to run on the same machine as Policy Server.
Multiplexer communicates with the following components:
*
Policy Server on ports 40000, 55806, and 56010
*
Filtering Service on port 55805 (inbound)
*
Log Server on port 55805 (outbound)
*
SIEM integration (port varies; 514 for TCP and 515 for UDP)
