Why does the SPAN traffic give NETWORK UNKNOWN error exceptions from MSSQL, and Oracle databases?

Question & Answer


Question

Why does the SPAN traffic give NETWORK UNKNOWN error exceptions from MSSQL and Oracle databases? Our database servers use jumbo packets. It looks like the number network error exceptions in Guardium reports is related to jumbo packets. Also it looks like we're missing to log most of the SQLs. Very little SQL is logged even though lots of packages are coming into Guardium.
