If you intend to connect the NBA to a hub or policy engines, connect the NBA management port to a router, and not directly to a switch. Furthermore, the management port must be on a different IP subnet to the policy engine port, s0.e2.
Connect the NBA management port to a router that has at least two Ethernet ports. You connect the NBA management port to one Ethernet port, then connect the router over a second Ethernet port to your corporate network. In effect, you are using a router to isolate the NBA management port from your corporate network.
Note: You specify the IP address of the management port in the next step.
Why is the setup necessary? Using a router prevents potential time-outs or ‘page not found’ errors when,
If you connect the NBA management port to a switch instead of a router, you can experience intermittent race conditions whereby the management port replies to a policy engine request, or the s0.e2 port responds to an NBA console request.
When you have connected the NBA management port to the router, you can assign an IP address to this port; see the next section for details.
