2. Hardware Deployment

2.1. Management Access (Control Plane)

Step 1: Connect power supply:

Allegro 1000/3000 (portable version): Allegro 200 (portable version):

Allegro 1200/3200 (rack version):

Step 2: Connect management LAN connection to the Connect management LAN connection to the

port labelled as „MGMT“ (the bottom left port): USB-Ethernet adapter and insert into any USB port:

By defult, the device will query n IP ddress vi DHCP dynmiclly from your network.

Alternative: Insert WiFi adapter to any of the two USB ports:

By default, the device will open an access point so other smartphones, tablets, or laptops can connect to the access

point and access the web interface.

During initial install, your network connected to the MGMT port assigns an IP address to the Network Multimeter

via DHCP. Later in the web conﬁguration section, it is possible to conﬁgure a ﬁxed IP or enable a DHCP server running

on that network interface. Also, the wireless device can be enabled to access the web interface as a WiFi client or

access point.

If access is not possible with the default conﬁguration, a temporary IP address can be assigned: After booting,

connnect an USB keyboard to any of the USB ports and press "Shift+S". Now the IP address 192.168.0.1 is assigned

to the LAN interface and it is valid until power o. If this is already taken another address in the range from

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10 will be used. You can check the current IP address on a connected monitor.

2.2. Network Measurement Installation (Data Plane)

The Allegro Network Multimeter analyzes all traffic going through any of network interfaces. It can be

deployed in the following setups:

1. Bridge mode:

Every pair of interfaces build a layer-2 bridge, Both interfaces build a layer-2 bridge, sending

sending all incoming traic to the corresponding all incoming traic to the corresponding interface:

interface. Each vertical pair of interfaces forms a bridge.

The interface number 1 only processes incoming

traic from a mirror port.

2. Sink mode:

Received packets will be processed, but not forwarded. Connect the network multimeter to a hardware tap by

connecting both tap ports to the device. Alternatively, a switch or router mirror port can be connected to any of

the device network interfaces:

Default behavior is the bridge mode, thus running as an in-line device. The other mode can be enabled within the

web interface after setup (menu „Settings → Global settings“):
