RITE and DM simultaneously
Answer
3/17/10 9:09 PM
Hi,
 
I have a technical question about packet analysis.
Is it possible to apply simultaneously RITE mode and Direct mode? I'd like to apply the first mode to some kind of packets (ex, packet that come from a particulary IP, or packet that use a particulary protocol in data segment) and the second to others.
 
I'd like also to know if is possible (regardless the first question) to switch from RITE to DM (and reverse) inline, possibly following a directive invoked from my application running on AXP.
 
Thank you for your attention,
Maurizio.

Both are possible at the same time. RITE exports a "interface" that get copies of packets based on whatever you configure via the RITE config tool(s). Using raw packets (i.e pcap ,etc.) you can attach to a direct eth0/1 concurrently to get copies of packets. You can attach multiple raw modes to the same direct interface. You can create multiple RITE profiles (interfaces) as well. I do not believe you can attach a raw mode to a RITE "interface" however. Switching raw on/off is easy, RITE could be done via an IOS comm. approach.

Correct.  You can use our IOSAPI to dynamically configure and query the router via your application.  We also provide a similar API so that you may do the same with service module configuration.   Please check the AXP Developer Guide for more information.
