Overview

This page demonstrates how to setup networking with an NST wireless notebook that is configured with multiple network interface adapters for performing simultaneous network computing surveillance tasks. The NST script: "nstnetcfg" command line software utility was designed to make this task easy to accomplish using a combination of the "NetworkManager" and "network" services.

The diagram below will be used as a reference for setting up a multi-network interface adapter server using NST. The rear panel of a 1U Server is shown with NIC attachments to the network infrastructure. The network security staff for fictitious company: "TxyCorp" would like to use NST for monitoring different network segments throughout their network. In particular, they would like to monitor traffic entering and leaving their corporation, web server traffic, all client electronic business transactions and remote traffic to and from their satellite offices.

Note: The USB 3.0 Specification defines the "SuperSpeed" mode with a signalling speed of 5 Gbit/s and a usable data rate of up to 4 Gbit/s. Based on this A USB 3.0 NIC Adapter should be capable of providing Full Line Rate Gigabit Data to the NST system.
