Installing Netifyd
Netify DPI - Installing the Agent
There are two ways to extract DPI information from netifyd: ingesting network traffic in a live environment or using a network PCAP capture file.
In a live environment, the Netify Agent must tap into a network to analyze traffic. The traffic is ingested via a network interface connected directly to a live network or mirror port. The implementation can be done by:
- Using a virtual machine
- Creating a container - LXC, Docker, nspawn, etc.
- Configuring a dedicated Linux system
- Installing Netify on an existing Linux system
Example: mirror port on a local network
Tap into the network where you want the most visibility. The example shows the Netify Agent analyzing LAN traffic on an edge network.
Installation
The installation process for analyzing packet captures is straightforward. This is a good place to start if you want a quick feel for Netify DPI. The installation and setup process for ingesting live network traffic is a little more involved, but it provides a glimpse into a more typical Netify deployment.
