probe to NTA. To set a password for a probe, see Intelligent Management Center Probe

Installation Guide.

Click OK to add the probe.
After you have added a probe to NTA as a network flow data source, you must also select it using
the NTA Server Management feature for it to become available for traffic analysis task

configurations and for reporting. For more information about selecting a probe using the NTA
Server Management feature, see "

Managing NTA servers

," specifically "

Modifying an NTA

server configuration

."

You must also install the probe application program on a dedicated server and configure it to
receive traffic mirrored from the ports you want to view statistics for.
You must also configure the router or switch to mirror traffic from one or more ports to the port to
which the probe server/NTA is connected. If you are using a tap kit, you must also install the tap

kit inline into the link being monitored. See the vendor documentation for configuring a router or
switch to enable NetStream, NetFlow, or sFlow data to a collector or for information on installing

tap kits. For more information about configuring the NTA server to receive network flows from a

probe, see "

Managing NTA servers
