Verifying the capture port

Follow these steps to verify the status and link speed of the capture port on your IBM®-supplied appliance.

Procedure

  1. In a browser window, log in to the QRadar® Network Packet Capture appliance as an administrator.

    The default password for the ADMIN account is pandion.

  2. On the Dashboard tab, check that the SmartNIC window shows the status of each capture port.

    Link status and health of the system is visible even when the system is not actively capturing data. If the port is active, the link speed of the port is displayed.

    Figure 1. UNIT VIEW widget.
    The Unit View window shows details about the system, including the SmartNIC and Storage components, and provides an indicator of the overall health of the system.
