What counts as a sensor?
The licensing options are based on the number of sensors. Each of the following items counts as one sensor: • SNMP monitoring of traffic/bandwidth on one port of any device (e.g. switch, firewall, server) using the MIB2 standard (incoming and outgoing traffic count as one sensor) • Monitoring errors/min, unicast packets/s, non-unicast packets/s on one port of a device via SNMP using the MIB2 standard (incoming and outgoing readings count as one sensor) • Monitoring one other system parameter via SNMP (e.g. CPU, diskspace etc.) that is accessible via one OID value • Monitoring traffic going through one local network card (NIC) via Packet Sniffing. If you use filtering then each set of filters counts as one sensor. • Monitoring of one stream of data traffic via Netflow Monitoring. If you use filtering then each filterset counts as one sensor. The number of actual hardware devices is not taken into account at all, only the number of sensors. For the “unlimited licenses” the number of sens
