DNCA Web Console - Interface Tab
In the Interface tab, you can configure the number of instances of the Unica Discover Network Capture Application and the trafficking rules for sending data to each instance.
The Network Capture Application can be configured to support transparent load balancing or you can disable load balancing and use the legacy method of capturing network traffic. For more information about the benefits of transparent load balancing, see DNCA Transparent Load Balancing Overview. If you want to configure your DNCA to use transparent load balancing, see Configuring the DNCA Interface with Transparent Load Balancing. If you do not want to enable transparent load balancing on your DNCA, see Configuring the DNCA Interface without Transparent Load Balancing.
