A distributed TruView environment always contains a TVC. The TVC is the window to your data and it can be accompanied by a TVF, a TVP or both. Please note that a TVP (TruView Packet) acts a true packet collector, while a TVF (TruView Flow) is equipped with a GUI and is capable of showing NetFlow results. However this GUI is available, it is depreciated and shouldn't be used anymore.
These intra-nGeniusONE system communications must be allowed by every firewall and ACL in the path between the nGeniusONE servers and its data sources (Flow Collector, InfiniStream, vStream, vStream Agent, ...).  All servers require stable communication with DNS and NTP.  If you choose to use external user authentication (AD, LDAP, RADUIS, TACACS, ...), access to these authentication servers is required only for nGenius Server or nGenius Global Manager, nGenius For Flows and nGenius Local Server.
 
Access to all servers is typically done using SSH on Linux (tcp/22) and RDP on Windows (tcp/3389).  InfiniStream and Flow Collector are always Linux-based OS.

Introduction

These intra-nGeniusONE system communications must be allowed by every firewall and ACL in the path between the nGeniusONE servers and its data sources (Flow Collector, InfiniStream, vStream, vStream Agent, ...).  All servers require stable communication with DNS and NTP.  If you choose to use external user authentication (AD, LDAP, RADUIS, TACACS, ...), access to these authentication servers is required only for nGenius Server or nGenius Global Manager, nGenius For Flows and nGenius Local Server.

Access to all servers is typically done using SSH on Linux (tcp/22) and RDP on Windows (tcp/3389).  InfiniStream and Flow Collector are always Linux-based OS.

 

Solution

Standalone nGeniusONE Server (just one nGenius server)

(#) suggested ports for NetFlow and SFlow exports (other port numbers are possible)

(*) optional vSTREAM Agent packet streaming

Distibuted nGeniusONE Server (at least two nGenius servers)

(#) suggested ports for NetFlow and SFlow exports (other port numbers are possible)

(*) optional vSTREAM Agent packet streaming
